The Abia State Coordinators of the Atiku-Okowa presidential campaign have pledged to give former Vice President Atiku Abubakar the entire state in the 2023 election.

Kingsley Megwara stated that Atiku’s presidency would greatly benefit the South East, arguing that Atiku has done business with many Igbo over the years.He also stated that “for the time being, the numbers are adding up for Atiku more than any other presidential candidate.”
