”So, what I’m telling Ndi Abia is that they should expect Mmagha Ndigbo as their next Governor in 2023″.

Abaribe was earlier conferred with the chieftaincy title of ” Maduforo Nde Ngwa.”

He said the honour would spur him into more patriotic actions for not just his constituency but the state, Ndi Igbo and Nigeria at large.
