Yesterday, pictures of Governor Okezie
Ikpeazu branded Tanker distributing free kerosene to people at
Umunkpeyi and other locations circulated the social media space.
Many people were seen struggling to get the free kerosene from the tanker.
I was shocked and wept bitterly when I saw the pictures because this is no longer the Abia State I know before.
From
Ikpeazu’s moves by sharing free kerosene and money to Abians few days
to Governorship election, it is crystal clear that he is aware that he
has failed the people who entrusted him with power.
I also
heard that Ikpeazu said that the dark days are over for the civil
servants in Abia State and donated 10 million naira to them.
My
question to the civil servants is, will Ikpeazu 10 million naira solve
the pains and problems you have been through in the last three and half
years?
Let me quickly recall that in the last three and half
years, almost all the civil servants in every sector protested over non
payments of their salaries.
Let me do flashback, in 2018, the
staff of Abia State owned University teaching hospital, Aba protested
and cursed Ikpeazu over non-payment of their 9months salary.
The demonstration was staged Inside the premises of the hospital.
Also, in terms of infrastructure, Ikpeazu has not done well.
Let me also draw your mind to the Osisoma Flyover being constructed by Ikpeazu for over three years now.
Despite his promise that the flyover will be completed in January 2019, the truth is that the project has been abandoned.
When it comes to good road, hospital, empowering the farmers, Ikpeazu has not delivered also.
I
don’t know any reason a true Abia State born should want Ikpeazu to
return to the Government House when he has failed to deliver half of the
promises he made in 2015.
If you come to Ebonyi State, you will
see what Umahi did in terms of infrastructure . He built many flyovers,
good roads and empowered farmers. That’s what I expected Ikpeazu to do.
Let
me make it clear that I’m not from Abia State and didn’t receive a dime
to pen down this article but as a journalist, I know it is imperative
to speak against evils, injustice, hunger, etc when I see them.
