‘For me it’s not about being a Governor but about taking governance back to the people, where our youths will be empowered and be the best in Africa, where families will live fulfilled life, and where over one million business will returned back to Enyimba city. We are committed to taking Abia to its first position, we need to salvage the state from the hands of principalities that has held down the development of the state.’’ Ogah said.

Okpara, ‘’ we plan to increase rice production from the wetlands of Abia, we will transform existing rice production centers at Ulonna North and south in Ohuhu and watershed of Bende, Abam and Ohafia.

My commitment to the development of Abia State is total. Abia people will not be trapped for ever. Their liberation is at hand ‘’ he stated
It would be recalled that unprecedented jubilations greeted the nomination of Uche Sampson Ogah as the Abia State governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC across the length and breadth of the state and this bears quantum testimony that the people are eagerly waiting for him to come on board and steer Abia to the path of greatness. The people trust Ogah to liberate them from the shackles of bad governance, extreme deprivation and poverty which former governments and their cohorts have inflicted on Abians.
An industrialist per excellent who leads a flourishing conglomerate with diversified business interests, Ogah is a job and wealth creator with close to 50,000 employees on his pay roll. As Governor, he will replicate what he has been doing as a private businessman on Abia. He will decouple Abia from federal allocation by investing in Agro-allied industries and manufacturing. This way, human capital development is achieved and jobs made available for thousands of graduates in various fields Abia produces every year. With increased Internally Generated Revenue, IGR driven by massive industrialization, Ogah will set Abia on the path to becoming an economic giant
