COMMUNIQUE ISSUED BY ABIRIBA PDP STAKEHOLDERS FORUM ON 27TH NOVEMBER, 2021

At our meeting of 27th November, 2021 at Ugwuezi Abiriba, the Forum resolved as follows:

1. That we wish to restate our total confidence in the administration of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, PhD, who has continued to improve the infrastructure stock of the state, provide security for our people, and promote small and medium scale enterprises in the state. Of particular note to us are the construction of Ugwuezi Road, Abiriba and Abiriba-Nkporo Road by Governor Ikpeazu as well as numerous other roads done by his administration in Aba that have further enabled our people to engage in their primary occupation of trade and commerce.

2. That we further appreciate the recent re-assignment of our son, Chief John Okiyi Kalu, to the Ministry of Trade & Investment as the Honorable Commisioner as well as other appointments to our sons and daughters by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu who we know has more in stock for our people.

3. The forum congratulates Governor Okezie Ikpeazu on his recent award as the Governor of the Year on SME Development by the New Telegraph Newspaper as well as the listing of Abia State as the third most preferred investment destination in Nigeria for the year 2020 by the Natiomal Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

4. The Forum congratulates Wife of the Governor, Mrs Nkechi Ikpeazu Ph.D, on her Doctorate Degree recently bagged from Abia State University, Uturu and appreciates her unalloyed support to the Governor as well as her focused fight against Gender Based Violence, promotion of the well being of widows and other indigent persons through her Vicar Hope Foundation.

5. The Forum congratulates the First Family on the wedding of Mr Jachimike Victor Ikpeazu to his lovely wife Chidinma.

6. We celebrate and appreciate the loyalty, support and synergy between the Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Ude Oko Chukwu, PhD and his Boss, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, and urge all members of the party in our community, LGA and Senatorial District to work hard and promote the growth of the Peoples Democratic Party.

7. We also appreciate the harmonious relationship between the 7th Abia State House of Assembly led by Rt. hon (Engr) Chinedum Orji with our son Honorable Mandela Obasi as member and the Executive branch of Abia State Government that has ensured that dividends of democracy ar delivered to the people of our constituency in particular and the state in general.

8. That a Vote of Confidence is hereby passed on the Executive Chairman of Ohafia LGA, Dr Okoroafor Ukiwe for his good leadership of the LGA as well as the numerous achievements recorded since his inauguration in less than one year ago.

9. We congratulate the Enachioken of Abiriba, HRM Eze Kalu Kalu Ogbu (IV) Esq, on his recent call to the Nigerian Bar and soon to be celebrated 21st anniversary of his installation as the Traditional Ruler of our Ancient Kingdom.

10. That we resolve to work harder to reposition and make the Abiriba PDP Chapter more vibrant and viable to win more elections.

11. That we resolved to support aggressive voters registration sensitization and mobilization with view to getting every eligible unregistered son and daughter of Abiriba, both home and anywhere In Nigeria, registered.

12. The Forum firmly resolved that while we appreciate the good representation by Hon Uko Nkole so far, the Ohafia/Arochukwu Federal House of Representative position in 2023 is naturally zoned to Abiriba and we hereby encourage our brothers and sisters from other communities within the constituency to, in the spirit of fairness and equity, support, at the appropriate time, the emergence of an Abiriba born candidate as the party’s flag-bearer.

13. The Forum firmly encourages all sons and daughters of the community to feel free to contest any other political position in 2023 that is zoned to Abia North by our great party as we are confident that we have persons who are competent enough to occupy any office in the state, and our people, dead and alive, have contributed to the growth, peace and progress of the state as well as supported others in the past.

14. The forum urges the state ministry of works to urgently intervene and fix the dilapidated Ugwu Court Road in Abiriba as well as conclude the Abiriba Ring Road project to enable our people enjoy this Yuletide season without undue hardship and threat to motorists.

It is finished. Politics has always been a game of interest

dem don loot that state.These are THIEVES ESN should hunt down not onion/bread sellers

500 naira governor...

Lol , Ndị Abia hope you people have seen what sheepishly standing by PDP have caused?

Imagine congratulating the wife of the Governor on her PhD as part of state achievement. Lol, I no fit laugh abeg.

Anyways, it's not like I want to spoil this beautiful moment of self caused mediocrity but I want to remind anybody from Abia reading this my comment that by next year, when Ebonyi state complete her Airport that Abia state will be the only Igbo state (not just in SE) without an Airport.

Goodluck in advance as you people enjoy the mockery from next year .
Next time vote right

Nnamdi Kanu and Ipob goons, what yah say

I'm sure Abaribe de eye that seat
He go win am sha


But ipkeazu is a complete flop

Every state in Nigeria have its peculiarities and challenges. Abia is no different from others. We understand that we are still a work in progress and passing a Vote of confidence on the governor shouldn't be a rope for people to hang themselves.
The present administration has done is best which might not have been glaring for all to see no thanks to past maladministration we have had. But am sure that at the end of his dispensation, OVI would have left a worthy roadmap for an incoming Governor to build on.

Enyinnaya Abaribe, we respect you for lot, but this is absolute foolishness.

Okezie Ikpeazu has been a disgarce and failure of a governor.

They don't have option even though deep down in their minds, they know that he is worst governor in Nigeria as at today.

The reasons here are grossly disappointing

Abaribe would be the next governor of Abia state

He must continue from where Ikpeazu stopped.

Golan007:


Abaribe would be the next governor of Abua state

He must continue from where Ikpeazu stopped.

That's same Abaribe that has no tangible projects on his name even after being in the Senate for over a decade.

How does that matter?

He speaks truth to power.

He's the only senator who cares about Biafra and has shown himself not be a sabo.

The major problem of Abia State is her leaders and followers. It's just as if they enjoy the rot and decadence in Abia state. They have always consciously elected bad leaders. In some few years, Abia might be miles behind Ebonyi state in terms of development, if things don't change.

If you ask the Abians now to choose what should be the priority between checking after good governance in Abia state and Biafra, Dem go start to dey murmur

No news here, a big failure passing vote of confidence on a colossal failure na normal thing for Igboland no wonder folks over there can't wait to flee n escape into Yorubaland flowing with milk and honey.

Lagos state senators should be passing of of excellence Sawno daily if we are to compare this failed fools and how many of their foolish tribesmen insult Yoruba n Sawno.

Awon oloriburuku tribe dede.

So Alhaji Natty you are from backward Abia State? Interesting.

Hmmm. You are giving hope and I pray he delivers. I am not from Abia state but I hardly read anything positive about his leadership and almost everything he does is given an interpretation I consider too critical. I just wish he will do more at least for the legacy of his name he will leave for his children and grandchildren.
May God bless Abia state and may God bless Nigeria forever!

Abaribe's name was never mentioned in the write-up.

The OP just wanted some funny comments...Abiriba (not Abaribe) is a place in Ohafia LGA.

BKayy:

That Abia has not been fortunate with good Governors is no news but an Airport is the last thing that should be in Govt's consciousness.

Abia's priorities are roads, youth employment, power, food security and allowing industries crash in.

Enugu, Ebonyi, Rivers, CRS, Akwa Ibom, Imo (all border States) do have or will be completing their Airports but the man who will use the Airport will use the roads first. Let's not also forget, that all these Airports are Federal-owned save for AKS, EB & Sam Mbakee that a very diligent military administrator built.

With good roads, you can connect an Airport in these States and Umuahia in less than 30mins. Abia doesn't have the money to build an Airport with the myriads of problems there...For now, it's just an avenue to siphon funds!

The poster is an Ewedu eating bastard

Vote of Iberiberism.

Ikpeazu is a failure,even the road project in Abiriba will be abandoned after doing just 1 km road that is his method.
