Gov. Ikpeazu Lauds Abia Founding Fathers Over Rotation Of Leadership

The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, had lauded the founding fathers of the state over the rotation of governorship seat among the three senatorial districts (Abia North, Abia Central and Abia South) of the state.

Governor Ikpeazu stated this during a statewide broadcast to mark the 28th anniversary of the creation of Abia State.

Abia was created during Major-General Ibrahim Babangida (retd) military regime in August 27, 1991.

However, Governor Ikpeazu said the Charter of Equity was a template that has ensured that every part of Abia State was equitably treated in the socio-political evolution of the state.

He said, “I thank God that we have sustained that charter and I will do my best to ensure that the torch of equity in Abia State remains alight.”

“Since our assumption of office for a second term on the saddle of leadership in Abia State, we have taken steps to consolidate on the successes we recorded in our first term while ensuring that we finish strongly, our second and last lap.”

“I wish to reiterate that our cardinal objective in our second term is the completion of all the projects that we began in our first term while laying solid foundations for sustainable job creation for our teeming youths in Abia State.”

“In that regard, we have hit the ground running upon our swearing-in and have taken steps to actualize our objectives.”

He called on the people of the state to continually support and encourage his administration as he has redoubled efforts to ensure that democratic dividends were brought to the doorsteps of the people.
