Former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has won the senatorial ticket of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for Abia South senatorial district.
Abaribe, who dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) earlier in the week after withdrawing from the governorship race, was elected APGA senatorial flag-bearer unopposed on Saturday.
In his acceptance speech, Senator Abaribe, thanked the delegates for reposing confidence in him.
Promising not to disappoint his constituents, Abaribe vowed to sustain his fight for the enthronement of democracy, equity and justice.
He said he would help to return Abia State to APGA for total liberation from god-fatherism and despondency.
With his emergence as APGA flag-bearer, the third-term Senator will be clashing with Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu, who holds the PDP ticket; and Blessing Nwagba of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in the 2023 senatorial poll.
