Ikpeazu said, “No other tribe in Nigeria has demonstrated practical belief in the Nigerian nation better than the Igbos as can be seen from the fact that our people live and invest heavily in every part of the country.”
Ikpeazu said that in the Southeast and indeed across the country today, “the credentials of Senator Anyim stand very tall”.

He called for the support of the governor and the party in the State, assuring that he would be a candidate and a President that Nigeria would be proud of.
