A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Onyebuchi Ememanka, confirmed that Ikpeazu received Abaribe in his home on December 24 on a scheduled Christmas visit which had become an annual ritual of sorts.

The statement further read, “It was in the course of the visit that the senator informed the governor of his intention to throw his hat into the ring when the contest for the 2023 governorship election in the state starts”.
The governor expressed his strong belief that power comes from God and that He cannot leave it entirely in the hands of men.
Ikpeazu pointed out that he is not thinking about the politics of 2023 now because “doing so will be tantamount to a technical abridgement of his own tenure and is capable of distracting him from the serious issues of governance in the state currently”, adding that he is presently occupied with ensuring that some critical road projects are dealt with.
Abaribe who represents Abia South Senatorial District recently declared his intention to join the state’s governorship race come 2023.
