Nwaka said by ceding power to the Isuikwuato area of the state come next year, the Abia charter of equity would have run its full circle since Isuikwuato was in Okigwe Division before the carving of Abia in 1991.
Nwaka made this known Tuesday while addressing People’s Democratic Party (PDP) faith in Umuahia on his aspiration to become the next governor of the state.
He said after his apprised with Governor Okezie Ikpeazu about his aspiration, he decided to use the bottom-up approach in his consultations with his party men and women.
Nwaka reeling out his profile said he was eminently qualified to govern Abia State.
“If I did not sincerely believe, very deep in my heart, that I am predisposed, everything considered, to add value and make our party and the people of the state proud, I would not have essayed to take on the burden of leadership.
“Talking about our founding fathers, their quest was for a well-developed state with modern amenities.100% Natural Herbs to Finally End Premature Ejaculation, Weak Erection and Small Manhood. Click Here Now .
“In their wisdom, they saw fit to make it clear in the Abia Charter of Equity that none of the constituent districts of the state, old Afikpo (part of Abia then), old Bende, Isuikwuato District and the old Aba District must be left out particularly in the rotation of the topmost job in the state”.
Nwaka said the provision was to foster peace and amity in the state without which the desired even development would be a mirage.

“If the primary is tomorrow and no other aspirant comes forward, it means we’re are returning him unopposed.
