Senators-elect who killed govs’ N’Assembly ambition
Nigeria, governors are powerful. They have a huge influence and they have their way in almost everything they have interest in. In recent elections, the chances of any presidential candidate in the general election was seen to be partly dependent on the number of governors such a candidate had on their side, because governors seemed to have the uncanny ability to deliver the votes of their states in favour of their preferred candidate.
The senator representing Abia South in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, Enyinnaya Abaribe, would seem like a hard man to beat in a contest. He did not only defeat the incumbent governor and candidate of the PDP, Okezie Ikpeazu, in the February 25 senatorial election, the governor came a distant third.
