The ADC candidate further promised to improve the road situation in Abia Central Constituency, with special focus on Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene road, Umuopara ring road to Ikwuano, roads in Osisioma, Nbawsi among others.

“I will expand my scholarship for intelligent students from indigent homes. So far, I have given more than 500 scholarships and i will initiate a monthly stipend support for the poorest widows and as well, support inclusiveness for persons with disabilities.

“I will write quarterly progress report to be sent to my constituents. This will keep them abreast with what is happening in the various areas of my priorities”.

Godson further promised to build industries that will give good and well paid jobs to indigenes of his constituency, thereby arresting the issue of unemployment among the youths.

The Abia State Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Don Norman Obinna (Agu Ibeku), stated the party’s readiness to change the narrative of Abia, adding that the ADC would be a party to beat come 2023.

Obinna Don Norman said any political party that is unable to conduct a credible in-house elections where credible candidates will emerge, certainly, such parties lack the credibility to provide good governance.

The ADC chairman further said that
his party is well structured to serve the people, insisting that the people deserve the best.

“It is a party with no God father and this will enable our members who are elected into elective position to serve the people and as well give their best without fear or favour”.

The party chairman also disclosed that the party does not welcome those aggrieved, highlighting that their party, ADC, is a party that follows due process.

The ADC boss further revealed that the ADC is a party for Ndi Abia where the interest of the people is captured, with carefully selected candidates that will fly the party’s flag.

He, therefore, urged those who are yet to get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC), to do so, insisting that it is in the hands of Abia electorates to bring the desired change, through their choice.
