The immediate past Chief of Staff to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Okey Ahaiwe, has been elected the new governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State.
He polled a total of 469 votes to defeat his closest rivals, the deputy governor of the state, Ude Oko-chukwu and Mr Lucky Igbokwe who scored 12 votes each.
Others who participated in the process were a former chairman of the party, Senator Emma Nwaka, who had no vote, and a former House of Assembly member, Sampson Orji, who polled 11 votes.
A total number of 516 votes were cast during the special congress, and 12 votes were declared invalid.
Some of the aspirants including a former Commissioner for Works, Bob Ogu, a businessman, Eric Opia and a female candidate had earlier stepped down for Ahaiwe who hails from the same local government area as the late Prof Uche Ikonne.
The chairman of the Abia PDP primary election committee and governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, declared the winner at the special congress held on Saturday.
He assured the candidate that the party will support him to win the governorship election in the state.
Earlier in his speech, the state chairman, Alwell Asiforo Okere, said the special convention became necessary following the death of the former governorship candidate of the party, Prof. Ikonne.
“We lost our governorship candidate Ikonne ten days ago. It is for that reason that we are here today because the electoral act particularly section 33 has compelled us to elect another candidate within 14 days.
“We are very confident that the team led by Obaseki, will do a good job because the party knows the kind of man he is before sending him.
“We know all the candidates. We urge the winner to be magnanimous and embrace others”, Okere said.
“We must do everything to rescue Nigeria from corruption and poverty by starting from Abia State”, the state party chairman said.
In his acceptance speech, Ahaiwe thanked the party delegates for electing him to fly the party’s flag in the forthcoming election.
He said he would bring his experience from the private and government sectors to move the state forward.
The special convention was monitored by a team from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) led by Mr Festus Okoye.

How to Maximize Bonuses and Rewards at ZAR Casinos

Today, we shall embark on a journey to discover the best ways to maximize your bonuses and rewards at South African Casinos. As you know, bonuses and rewards are vital aspects of the online gambling experience, as they allow you to increase your chances of winning and extend your playtime.

But which bonuses and rewards to pursue? After all, there are so many options available nowadays, making it challenging to determine what floats your boat. We’ll guide you through this labyrinth and unveil the secrets to maximizing your online casino experience, so read on.

Which Bonuses Are Available?

To begin with, let us discuss the types of bonuses and rewards available at top ZAR casinos online. There are several types of bonuses and rewards, including welcome bonuses, deposit bonuses, no deposit bonuses, free spins, loyalty points, VIP bonuses, and cashback. Each of these bonuses and rewards has its unique benefits, and by taking advantage of them, you can enhance your gambling experience.

Welcome Bonuses at ZAR Casinos

South African Casinos offer some of the most generous welcome bonuses in the industry. These bonuses are designed to give you a head start in your gaming journey.

For example, Springbok Casino offers R11,500 as a Welcome Bonus that’s spread throughout your first three deposits, while Casino.com will gift you double your initial deposit up to R4000 and 200 Free Spins! Of course, make sure you read the terms and conditions and that you actually understand them before claiming the bonus.

So what will you usually find in these conditions? The T&C should always discuss the wagering requirements and lay out all of the details you need to know in order to withdraw what you’ve won using the bonus.

Let’s take a look at a previously mentioned bonus by Springbok Casino. To unlock their bonus you must use the coupon codes. The minimum you need to deposit is R20. Of course, Springbok reminds its patrons that these coupon codes are valid only for a single deposit.

Furthermore, it is imperative that the coupon code be entered prior to depositing, as it cannot be retroactively credited to any customer’s account. In order to fully avail the benefits of the bonus, you must fulfill the wagering requirements which are 30 times the sum of the deposit plus the bonus. At the T&C, you’ll also find out which games qualify towards completing the wagering requirements as often skill-based games such as poker don’t count.

Choose The Right Games

Let’s move on to games. If you want to maximize bonuses and rewards you should choose your game wisely. You can’t use the bonuses for all the games found at the casino. For instance, most bonuses, if not all, cater to slot enthusiasts. On the other hand, if you’re more geared toward live casino games you are out of luck as many casinos restrict the bonus use for these games.

You should also keep an eye out for games with a high RTP percentage. This percentage indicates the amount of money that a game pays back to its players over time. The higher the RTP, the better your chances of winning and making the most of those bonuses and rewards.

Check Out The Loyalty Programs

When you’re all out your welcome bonus, and you’ve found the games that accept the bonuses offered by the casino, you shouldn’t waste a minute before signing up for the casino’s loyalty program. These programs reward loyal players with exclusive bonuses, gifts, and even VIP access to special events. The more you play, the higher your loyalty status, and the greater your rewards.

Be On The Lookout For Other Promotions

Another crucial strategy is to keep an eye out for seasonal or special promotions. The top South African casinos frequently offer special promotions for holidays, new game releases, or other events. For example, during the Christmas season, it’s very popular for casinos to give out free spins for Christmas-themed slots.

The same goes for any other major holiday or event. These promotions often offer generous bonuses and rewards, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled and take advantage of them when they arise. Keep in mind that all of the promotions come with certain restrictions, not only the welcome bonuses we’ve discussed above, so make sure to read the T&C of the recurring promotions as well.
