MrEverest:
Thats not true, I'm from Imo state but I'm more emotionally attached to Aba & in extension Abia state. Okezie is far better than Okorocha & Aba is arguebly the most economically important city in Igboland with a lot of industries, markets & a huge population just that since 1999 they have been getting bad leaders back to back but hopefully Okezie will be different.

shachris02:
This man should stop wailing. After lagos and PH, AK and Delta, abia should come next on IGR generaition. The amount of taxes paid in abia state is way much. Abia has close to 7 booming markets all pay huge sums as levies everyday. KEKE and bus operators pay through their noses. Abians pay infrastructural levies for government to fix roads for them.

Federal allocation or not, abia state is rich!

SamuelAnyawu:


Okezie better than Rochas my brother it's too early to compare Okezie biko he's just a year there...Thanks

MrEverest:
Nwa Nna ndi okenye si na eji agata n'ishi ahuru amara uto shi/mposi. Its so far so good with Okezie though I know its still early & during Kalu's first tenure between 1999 & 2003 he was called action governor before derailed but hopefully Okezie will not end up like him!

why are you guys like this?

Do you read newspapers at all, Abia state allocation has drastically fallen from N4.2b to N1.9b due to the fall in global oil price. Road construction is not the only thing needed in the state. He's busy reopening companies being folded in the previous administration; companies like glass industries, Golden guinea, etc. All these will create employment for the timing population and also go a long way in boosting our IGR (Internally generated Revenue).
He didn't abandon the projects rather he's creating a means of obtaining fund to bring back the lost glory of Abia state.

While facts are being misrepresented nobody and I repeat nobody can achieve 50% of what Okorocha has done in Imo State. In as much as media war has been waged on Okorocha for not being in support of Jonathan's misrule there are things so glaring one cannot take away and even the blind can feel.

A visit to Imo State today will still reveal that fresh projects have commenced this March and they are moving at a very fast pace and no State in Southeast and Rivers State has embarked on 30% of that this 2016.

For those unaware below is the IGR chart.

Why not wait for NBS to release the updated data than base on hearsay or blogs.

MrEverest:
I beg to differ, I was at Aba few days ago & I want to tell you that Okezie is trying, the rot T.A Orji left behind is enormous but Okezie has constructed a lot of roads including where my family house is located( Umola Road) today Aba is a bit neat though a lot still needs to be done like fully relocating ahia udele from water side & making that place attractive, street lights etc.

Me I live there..and I want to tell u that all those roads that were constructed are the ones he (okezie) did before and during his quest for power with Alex otti...since he won, he went on break.

Incorrect1:

Ponponkon:
Bro lalasticlala we are running a transparent government in Abia State that is why we have made it a call of duty to let Abians get every information verbatim. Abia is on the path of truth
