Abia Civil Society Network on Equity and Justice has charged political parties to field only indigenes of Abia North Senatorial District as their governorship candidates for the 2023 election.
They stated that it would amount to injustice if the rotation of the governorship position was jettisoned in 2023 after each of the Senatorial zones had taken their turns and that the second round of rotation should go back to Abia North in 2023. The group recalled that power rotation was the idea of the founding fathers of Abia State in their quest for its creation to give every section an equal sense of belonging and right to partake in the governance by producing the governor in turns.
MEANWHILE, the Organisation for Women in Science for the Developing World has said in spite of their determination to undertake research in the sciences, they were challenged by lack of funds.
