He said his administration had built several roads in Aba and was poised to do more, adding that Aba people should vote based on what political parties have done in the State.
He described the PDP candidate, Hon. Chimaobi Ebisike is a young committed party man capable of representing the people.

They solicited the support of all and sundry to ensure that an indigene of Aba wins in the by-election.
In his speech, the PDP State Chairman, Rt. Hon. Asiforo Okere said it was only an Aba indigene, who was born and bred in Aba that can represent Aba well, describing it as an opportunity for an Aba boy coming to complement the works of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu in Aba.
