He said if elected, he would provide effective and quality representation  as he would bring his wealth of experience to bear.

“My record as party chairman in Enugu State speaks for itself, how PDP under my watch recorded many achievements, won all elections as well  as improved internal party democracy.

“My administration laboured day and night to  ensure PDP flourished in Enugu State by winning all elective positions both in general elections and LG polls.

“Asadu is my bosom friend and we are still friends, but is Nsukka’s  turn to produce candidate  since he has been there for 16 years.

” It will be in the interest of fairness, justice and equity for somebody from Nsukka to be there in  2023,” he said.

Abba, an engineer by profession and  the Chief Executive Officer, VEE-TEk Group of Companies, promised to continue from where Asadu the incumbent would stop, if elected in 2023.

“As one who have contributed immensely to growth of the PDP in Enugu State, I have no doubt the party will give me the ticket to fly the party’s flag for Nsukka/Igboeze-South constituency in 2023.
