The Chinedu Onyeizu Campaign Organization has observed with keen interest the growing public reactions that followed Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe’s recent comments on the 2023 presidential election. What began as a national political debate has now reopened unresolved questions closer to home, particularly concerning the credibility of the 2023 Abia South senatorial election. In doing so, public opinion has once again reaffirmed what we have consistently maintained: that Engr. Chinedu Onyeizu was the rightful choice of the people of Abia South.

Some indigenes of Abia State have taken a swipe at Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe following his recent remarks alleging that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not win the 2023 presidential election, but that the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi, was the actual winner. Reacting to Abaribe’s comments, several Abians accused the senator of hypocrisy, arguing that his own victory in the 2023 Abia South senatorial election was more questionable than the presidential election he criticized. According to them, the Labour Party candidate, Engr. Chinedu Onyeizu, was the rightful winner of the Abia South senatorial contest, but the election was allegedly manipulated…
