Three prominent governorship hopefuls in Abia are
conspicuously missing on the list of candidates published by the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Umuahia.
They are the two factional governorship candidates of the
All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr Alex Otti and Chief Reagan Ufomba,
as well as the former Deputy Governor, Chief Chris Akomas, who was the
governorship candidate of the United Progressive Party (UPP).
Otti and Ufomba had emerged from two separate primaries
conducted by the factions of APGA in Umuahia.
