He assured the Abua / Odual people that President Jonathan will be reelected to conclude the transformation agenda he has started.

In his remarks, Leader of the PDP in Abua / Odual LGA, Dr Henry Ogiri said that the APC has collapsed in the area. He assured the people of more developmental projects.
