He maintained that the ceremony will be like a political fiesta that would bring together all the PDP faithful in Abia, and the neighbouring states as well as Nigerians from different walks of life.
“Those that are being invited are staunch supporters of the state governor Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, who is the Abia South Senatorial candidate of the party and other PDP candidates.

Answering a question, Amah stated that Abia as a PDP state is not opposed to the candidature of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s Presidential candidate, pointing out that what it wants the former Vice President to do is to correct some abnormalities and one-sidedness-that are glaring in the party
