In a press release made available to ALL FACTS NEWSPAPER, Barr. Philip Okey Igwe who is the current member representing Umunneochi State Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, revealed that he has cautioned against the attempt to unlawfully subvert his candidature, as that will render the entire PDP gubernatorial candidature inchoate and will amount to pulling the rug from under the feet of the PDP.

Indeed, certain entrenched interests that are and were opposed to what Prof and myself represented towards charting the course of a new, sustainable Abia, have arisen against me.
