At the tail end of November, the New Nigeria People’s Party engaged in a lot of activities in preparation for the gubernatorial campaign of Dr. Ukoai Iro Ukpai, the flag bearer.

Prominent among the activities was the unveiling of the Deputy Governor, and official unveiling of the youth Techprenuer Bootcamp targeted and training at least 1500 tour’s within the 3 senatorial zones of Abia state for the first set.

Short Speech by Dr Ukpai Iro Ukpai to unveil the Glorious Manifesto to Abians on November 26, 2023

Unveiling of the Glorious Manifesto

Early in 2020, we assembled at least four research committees to study the problems of Abia State and proffer solutions to them using good governance. We also designed and ran surveys by which we collected data showing what Abians in various Local governments feel challenges them most and their thoughts about how to solve them. The 75- page manifesto we created draws from the research and survey and from our physical interaction with the people, and the Abia space. To make it easy for Abians to quickly read and digest, we created the portable version which you can have today and share with Abians. 

The manifesto is called Glorious Manifesto. In the hands of a Dr Ukpai government in Abia State under the banner of NNPP, this Glorious Manifesto will return Abia to God’s own State status indeed and by it we will show uncommon love and care to Abia People, and no Governor has ever done that for Abia State. By it, we can grow the fastest revenue for Abia State and take it from where it’s languishing now (24 the or lower in IGR according to recent NBS release) to third or fourth place in IGR by 2027.

We will use Digital Technology and Digital Society as hub to create jobs massively and and provide wholesome Security in Food and Agric, Education, Health, and lives and property. 

I call on Abians to pick this manifesto up, read it, digest it and gives us your feedback. 

I am delighted today to unveil this Glorious Manifesto so it’s it’s available to Abians.

To God be Praise!
