A group of Abians based in China, United Kingdom, USA and Canada have endorsed Chief Kalu Idika Okwara as the next governor of Abia state.

The group under the aegis of Coalition for Abia Development (CAD), emphasised that Idika Okwara has the capacity and qualities to lead the state.

In a statement signed by its President, Elder Chief Amogu Kalu, said;
“The next Governor of Abia State should have the capacity, integrity and exposure to develop the state. Kalu Idika Okwara should be considered by the PDP as its consensus candidate.

“This is an opportunity for Abians, as a people, to choose to get it right. Our story will change if we accept the obvious: that failure does not convert to success the more we repeat the errors leading to it. We now have a man with the requisite knowledge and capacity to deliver. He is from Abia North, he is competent, he is energetic and courageous. Kalu Idika Okwara is the best man for the job,” the statement said.
