Aro kingdom, ordinarily, is considered the strong hold of Otti and Udensi who hail from the area, but the event at the PDP town hall meetings indicates that the entire Aro Kingdom is not playing on sentiment, but are in for serious business as they promised to vote PDP all the way.

Luckily for Ikpeazu and other PDP candidates, both Otti and Udensi are busy campaigning for PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan.

On arrival in Aro, Ikpeazu’s first point of call was at the palace of the Eze Aro, who incidentally was absent on health ground, but members of his cabinet, including eminent traditional rulers of Arochukwu, were on hand to receive Dr. Ikpeazu and his team.

The traditional rulers offered prayers for Dr Ikpeazu and other PDP candidates, including Hon. Mao Ohuabunwa, Hon. Uko Nkole.

The traditional rulers didn’t stop at blessing Dr. Ikpeazu and his team, they also endorsed them and pledged to support and vote PDP all the way in the forthcoming election.

Speaking during the town hall meeting proper at Ibom Hall, Ikpeazu promised to finance the renovation of the dilapidated Ibom Hall. He also promised that if elected, he, in league with Ohuabunwa and Nkole, will ensure that the Arochukwu-Ohafia road that is currently in bad shape.

Meanwhile, the Vice President-General of Arochukwu Bar. Steve Amaramiro has said that contrary to the denial of the APGA factional governorship candidate, Otti, that he is from Umuehim in Isialangwa South, that Otti is their son, whose parents, just like every other Aro man, lived in Umuehim in Isialangwa.

He added that as a proud Aro son, that Otti has built a befitting house for himself in his Atani clan in Aro. The Aro PG said that Aro people are not with Otti in his denial of his nativity in desperate desire to occupy a political office. He reiterate that the entire Aro kingdom have decided and agreed to support and vote PDP in the forthcoming election.

From Aro, the Okezuo Abia Team moved to Ututu for another town hall meeting. Ututu is part of Arochukwu. In Ututu, the chorus was still the same; PDP all the way.

From Ututu the Tema went to Ihechiowa and Abam for the same purpose and the chant remains , Okezuo Abia, PDP all the way.
