The name Governor Ikpeazu is synonymous with the word “performance”. For the first time in a long while Abia state is witnessing first hand, a Governor that is intellectually functional, purpose driven, transparent, goal oriented; and above all, focused to a touch.



In just three years Abia State has shifted positively at various spectrum of landmark development, from once a onetime dilapidated State to a progressive status, conditioned by leadership transformation of Governor ikpeazu, political imperatives, economic and internal security objectives. All these points to one fact: the interest, yearnings of Abians is his driving force.



The necessity to partner with local and international firms/organisation to grow the economy of Abia State, thereby, creating an enabling environment for business to thrive cannot be overemphasised. This alone has a ‘positive multiplier effect’ in the state’s economy. Happily, the approach adopted by the Governor is all embracing, giving room for both small scale and big business to thrive in the State.



Prior to this time, Abia state was notoriously known by all and sundry as a land plagued with horrific leadership. The system at the time frowned strongly at growth in all sphere of the state. Accordingly, it lost respect in the eyes of foreign investors and sister states, to say the least.



However, the assuring leadership of Governor ikpeazu has transformed Abia State from a once ‘dead’ state to a shining star, and same is now constant as the Northern star. Abia state, as at this time, is blessed with a focused and determined leadership whose utmost concern is the well-being of her people.



We cannot at this time go back to our past: a past bedeviled by bad leadership; a past of bad roads; a past where nothing worked; a past where life was in shamble; and a past where the strength of character, right to be heard and the interests of the people mattered not.



To be fair, Governor Ikpeazu, within his short stay in Office, has ensured that Abia state stands for what it was truly created to be: a shining star amongst sister states. Abians as a people, are most industrious, determined and dexterous, hence the need to create the enabling environment for their entrepreneurial establishment to thrive becomes most imperative.



Again, Governor Ikpeazu has ensure that the political and economic condition in Abia state, which will secure and project the interest of the people is well preserved and protected. This, is not even a matter for debate. Creating a prosperous, sustainable economy goes hand in hand with building world-class communities has been the Governor's trademark. One cannot exist without the other. And this has been one of the many trademarks of Governor Ikpeazu’s led Administration.



Ever since Governor Ikpeazu assumed office, there has been a building of solid domestic base for genuine democratisation of political power, to enable every Abian expresses his-her economical, social and political might and views without any inhibitions.

The Governor Ikpeazu led Administration focuses on strengthening key industries, expanding trade, helping small businesses grow, providing training to a new generation of Abians, and providing access to funding too.



Happily, Governor Ikpeazu’s strategy focuses on targeted industries that can spur rapid growth in Abia state. It is of essence to state that small businesses drive Abia State’s economy. To help them succeed, the Ikpeazu’s Administration offers a range of programs designed to meet the specific needs of small businesses in the state, from education and technical assistance to disaster preparedness and recovery tools.



With his groundbreaking developmental strides, it is not in doubt that Governor Ikpeazu deserves a second term. And the good people are ever ready to vote him back to office to continue the good works he started.

When will our people stop telling lies and get out of this bondage and bewitchment inflicted on them by politicians? If you go round the east you will find that in the last 19 years all the governors of Abia state have been the least performing. Go to the so called roads and you will find they are very poor quality. Go to Aba, go to Umuahia, even in his own Isiala Ngwa as a whole. What about health care. Hunger is at the highest in Abia state. These people sponsored to turn the otger way after collecting bribes must remember that with what they collect they will with their children remain in perpetual slavery in their own lands.
