He said elders of Ukwa/Ngwa came to Abia North where an oath was taken with kolanut for the senatorial district to support Abia South to produce the governor in 2015 in the person of Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu.
He accused the elders of being quiet on talks to produce the next governor of the state from Abia North.
