Asiforo Okere, State chairman of PDP, advised those seeking elective positions on the party’s platform to emulate the good qualities of Chimaobi Ebisike.
He described the empowerment programme as the first of its kind coming within six months in office of Ebisike adding that the Federal lawmaker was a model in legislative representation.
Okere contended that Aba as a metropolitan city requires the calibre of representative like Ebisike, who is carrying the indigenes and non-indigenes along irrespective of party differences noting that with Ebisike on the driver’s seat the dream of Enyimba city would be actualized.
Eze Isaac Ikonne, the traditional ruler of Osusu, Aba described Ebisike, as a man with a large heart, full of human kindness, stressing that he deserves re-election and elevation to a higher office after serving out his tenures.
