The Chairman of the state Caretaker Committee, Chief Donatus Nwankpa, made this known at a news briefing in Umuahia.
Nwankpa, who spoke through the Secretary-elect of the party, Mr Perfect Okorie, said APC was poised to take over Abia to provide good governance and infrastructure development, currently lacking in the state.
He said: “In 2023, it will dawn on all Abia people that APC has come to take over the state.
He also stated that the party (APC) have men of high calibre and proven integrity at the top-level of Nigeria’s politics, who are prepared to redeem Abia from PDP’s maladministration and move the state forward.

“We have men, who are ready to wipe away the tears of the downtrodden, workers and pensioners, who are owed many months of their legitimate entitlements.”
The present administration in Abia had made the state a laughing stock among other states of the federation.
“We are all ashamed of the total dilapidation of infrastructure in the state. No sector is spared,”

Nwankpa gave this assurance that President Muhammadu Buhari would ensure that votes counted in 2023, adding that “it will not be business as usual in Abia.”

Nwankpa dismissed the fear that the prevailing economic difficulties and security challenges in the country would sway votes against APC across board in 2023.

“The economic downturn is a global phenomenon, which was hugely exacerbated by economic meltdown and COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is not limited to Nigeria. It is a global dilemma,” he said. Nwankpa also spoke on the current state of the party in Abia, following the parallel congresses at the ward, local government and state levels.
He said the national leadership of the party put the inauguration of the newly elected executives on hold across the federation.

“That the newly elected state executive of the party had not been inuagurated after the state congress is not peculier to Abia.
“So, all the interim caretaker committees, instituted in all the 36 states, are still in charge of the affairs of the party,” he said.
He said the order restrained the party and its national leadership “from receiving, accepting and/or acting on the purported list of successful candidates” for the Abia congress.
