They reiterated the fact that Rt Hon Chinedum Orji is about the only politician in Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency that people will work for in spite of party differences because of his liberal nature that has endeared Abians to him.
The leader of the group, Hon Ikechukwu Apugo said the group which he described as a very strong pillar of APC in Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency will work for Rt Hon Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji whom he said he has known as a faithful political associate whose mission in politics is to elevate the standard of living of the people, a mission he said the Speaker has faithfully adhered to right from time.
