Recall that Abia APC had announced the postponement of its November 11th rally to December because of the Anambra governorship election, which held in Nov 18th.

The former House of Representative member said the party had to postpone the rally again so that members of the party can have time to celebrate this Christmas season with family and friends.

“The rally which has been shifted to January 2018 is purely because of the convenience of our members and not because of any of those reason the opposition to our rally are propagating around.

“We decided to shift it to January 2018 to make room for everyone to be available, we all know how this season is always filled with engagements and we don’t want our members to feel uncomfortable because of the rally” he said while in a media interaction yesterday in Umuahia with Abia Facts Newspaper.
