Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, called on INEC to halt the decision by a few members of the party to micro-zone

The runner up in the previous Abia governorship primary election Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to halt the decision by a few members of the party to micro-zone the next governorship candidate of the party to Isiala Ngwa LGA.

Following the death of the Abia PDP gubernatorial candidate Prof. Eleazar Uche Ikonne and the subsequent directive by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a fresh primary within 14 days to replace him, members of the Abia PDP State Caucus met and zoned the vacant Guber seat to Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area, the home LGA of the late Prof. Uche Ikonne.”

But Igbokwe criticised the decision saying it was wrong to allow those who did not participate in the first primary into the current primary ordered by INEC.
