From Nwogha Ndubuisi Andy, Abakaliki

The Labour Party Candidate for House of Representatives Abakaliki/Izzi Federal Constituency, Dr Ezeh Emmanuel Ezeh (Immaculate), on Wednesday,18th January, 2023, extended his Pre-elections Public Engagements to the Association of Nigerian Priests of Abakaliki Diocese (ANPAD). Speaking during the Association's Congress, which held in quick succession to the Pastoral Visit of the Catholic Bishop of Abakaliki, Most Rev. Dr. Peter Nworie Chukwu, at Christ The King Parish Nkalagu, Ezeh expressed gratitude to the Priests for their efforts so far in sensitizing the people about the ongoing PVC distribution by the INEC ahead of the 2023 elections.

According to statement issued by the Director, Media & Publicity Immaculate Grassroot Movement (Ifegachi Nigeria), Louis Nwebonyi, the Reps Candidate appreciated the priests for their roles in enthronement of good governance in the country. He encouraged them not to relent in pressing on the masses the dire need for active participation in the 2023 electoral processes, noting that in most cases, especially in the hinterlands, the Priests are the people's foremost rallying point for social and moral support/education.

Ezeh maintained that the Catholic Priests, even in their need to maintain political neutrality, remain veritable stakeholders in the ongoing Movement for a New Nigeria. In reaction, Rev. Fr. Okoroagha appreciated Immaculate for finding time to be with them and further reassured him of their constant commitment to common good in the Society.
