On the other hand, Ugwu Nwanyi bu di ya widows association, oji ogu Eri in Isialangwa south local government area, also endorsed the candidacy of Bishop Nwankpa lauding his philanthropic works . They assured Nwankpa of their total support come 2023.
Addressing the groups, Bishop Nwankpa lauded them for “choosing to identify with victory”.
The governorship hopeful stated that he decided to contest for the seat because Abia state is not where it is supposed to be when compared with sister states.
” I came with a very good mind. If Abia is good and is the way it should be, I wouldn’t have contested but I am here because Abia is not good and those coming out are not good. I have sacrificed myself to make Abia better” Nwankpa said.
Nwankpa expressed confidence that he is better than all other governorship candidate, adding that ‘ I am the next governor of Abia state’.
