Governor of Abia State, Theodore Orji, has made known his intention to occupy a seat from the 109 available seats at the Senate come 2015. The governor publicly declared his senatorial ambition at a reception jointly organised by the people of Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South local government areas of the state on Saturday.
According to Orji, he had no choice than to accept the requests of his people urging him to represent them at the red chamber of the National Assembly in 2015.
Orji urged the people to continue to support his administration, the Peoples’ Democratic Party and the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
“For some time now, there has been pressure from different groups, communities, individuals and organisations that I should run for the Senate and since this is coming from my people, I have no choice than to accept the demand,” Orji said at the occasion on Saturday.
The governor also expressed his gratitude to the people for the confidence reposed in him and promised to represent them well at the National Assembly when elected.
