APC set to restore Abia’s economic, social, political and infrastructural fortunes …Chief Amobi Godwin Ogah

A close observation of the Abia political phenomenon reveals a silent but sunamic style of political revolution in favour of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in an exclusive interview with Abiafacts newspaper Chief Amobi Ogah a chieftain of the APC bared his mind and revealed why APC is the party to beat come 2019 election.

Chief what is the status of the APC in Abia state?

That the APC has come to stay in Abia is one fact that can no longer be wished away, even by the strongest of propaganda and criticism as witnessed in our state today, but the most interesting aspect of the whole political happenings is that the more the PDP tries to raise some spurious propaganda against the APC, the more the fortunes of PDP dwindles, and while the PDP loses fame the APC gains membership and strength, the reason is not farfetched.

How will you rate the democratic fortunes of Abia state since the coming of the 3rd republic in 1999?
In the past 18+ years of Abia,s democratic experience under the PDP it’s been tales of woes across all sectors but the state got to its crescendo in bad governance under the present PDP government of Okezie Ikpeazu, whereby despite all the efforts put in by the APC led federal government by providing bailout funds and Paris club refunds to aid the state offset its self-inflicted debts, the state government and its officers had consciously diverted such funds for other private uses outside of the real intentions of receiving such huge funds and leaving the already impoverished populace suffering in immeasurable proportion.

Abia roads today are left in a pitiable and impassable condition while lip service and huge amount of money are being fraudulently voted for the construction and reconstruction of the roads without proportional action taken to ensure that people have access to good roads and other infrastructural benefits that comes with democracy.

The commercial town of Aba and the capital city Umuahia are being forced to shut down daily by 7pm with the lame and lazy excuse of security, killing the commercial and enterprising spirit of an average Abian, and chasing away investment opportunity in the state, while a few members of the ruling PDP in Abia state, their families and friends swim in criminal affluence at the expense of the poor Abian.

We are no strangers to the decay and wickedness that has become our lot under the PDP, but we have come to reassure Abians that all hope is not lost as the APC has taken a resolve to bring social, political, economic and infrastructural renaissance to Abia, the APC will restore security and good governance back to our state, the APC has come to keep Abia in the lead amongst the comity of states, we urge Abians to endure, keep faith and align with APC as we have resolved to bring smiles back to the face of Abians.
