The Okezie Ikpeazu led Administration in Abia State will not tell lies for any reason. Not even the provocation of some of our brothers and sisters, who are politically desperate, using all kinds propaganda against our dear state will make us tell Abians lies.
We owe it as a duty to Ndi Abia to tell them the truth at all times.

It is a matter of deliberate policy.

When we began the campaign for “Abia rice” last year, we told our people that they will eat much more Abia rice this year. Of course that was not to say we have not been eating it, we have, but on a smaller scale.

This year, 2017 we have gone many steps further to ensure we have more Abia rice at our homes as a replacement for imported rice.

Recall that after he was sworn in as Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu vowed not to eat foreign rice in order to support local producers and preserve forex for the country.

Abia rice fields are as old as the state itself, or even older. What has changed is that while previous governments didn’t think it was necessary to pay close attention to rice farming, the Ikpeazu administration, that deliberately included agriculture among its pillars of development, prioritized and mainstreamed rice farming by paying close attention to related activities that will yield higher rice production in the state.

It should be noted that the same model of support was extended to producers of made in Aba brands.



Before Governor Ikpeazu came, our people have been manufacturing all kinds of products at Aba, Umuahia and other towns. Aba did not become the “Japan of Africa” in 2015. Even the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbanjo, publicly acknowledged the status of Aba as the SME capital of Nigeria. That didn’t just happen, the public acknowledgement of what was already known by many for years happened because Governor Ikpeazu is doing something that others failed to do.

Abia State Government does not own any shoe factory in Aba or elsewhere in the state. But the state under Ikpeazu is interested in seeing Abia artisans and creative hands prosper in Abia and the best way to go about it remains to assist them with necessary support such as publicity, recognition, encouragement and easier access to funds and markets for their products.

The Governor described that philosophy as “spreading prosperity through active support to our people who are willing to work”

Like the Made in Aba campaign, which targets our people at Aba and their businesses, the Abia Rice campaign also targets our people in rice producing communities in Abia north and central senatorial zones of the state.

In all, we want to create jobs for our people. We want to grow our economy as a state and increase both the state’s and individual incomes.

So instead of being used as an agent of destruction, join in the campaign for the quick emergence of a productive and industrial Abia where food and employment will be available to all.

Shout it everywhere you go, Abia rice is really real.

PDP wailing machine has just been triggered off........18million votes loading for PMB in 2019.

Oga prof ur wailing machine has just been triggered off

18million votes loading........?

A former presidential spokesman, Mr Reuben Abati, has challenged the National Assembly to carry out its duties objectively and thoroughly in order to ensure a smooth process.

Mr Abati said this in reaction to the Senate’s rejection of the 2018 budget proposal presented to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday.

The Senate had complained that the 2018 Appropriation Bill was filled with inaccuracies, inconsistencies and was being padded.

While addressing the issue during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Mr Abati opined that if indeed the budget was being ‘padded’, it was the responsibility of the Senate to un-pad it.

“The job of the Senate, even if it has been presented with a budget that has been padded, is to un-pad it because it is a proposal and from being a bill, it becomes law.

“So the question to raise is this – how diligent has the National Assembly been, before raising these issues.

“How well has it investigated this alleged padding that it is bringing up. You might say that there are a lot of inconsistencies but before it is passed into law, it is part of its job to clean it up.”

Speaking further, Mr Abati said the response of the Senate might infact be a delibrate attempt to “demonise” certain persons.

“Look at the process, the MDA submits to the ministry, the ministry submits to the Ministry of Budget and Planning and from there it goes to the President who now lays the budget before the National Assembly. But I have seen in what we have read in the last 48 hours an attempt to demonise persons. In particular, the Ministry of Power, and to call Fashola names. I don’t think that is the way to go about it.

“What Nigerians expect is a thorough budgeting process and where there are mistakes, the National Assembly is expected to play its oversight role without being partisan or indolent,” he added.

Also reacting to the situation, the President’s Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters, Senator Ita Eniang, dismissed the claims that the budget had been padded.

According to him, the term ‘padding’ describes an unlawful insertion into a lawful document but in this case, the document presented before the Red Chamber, was only a proposal yet to be passed.

“I think it is not a disappointment for the president’s economic team because when a budget is presented to the legislature, what is presented there is a budget proposal and it is for the legislature to consider it and pass it as it deems fit. I understand padding to be an unlawful insertion into a lawful document – A document that has become legitimate – has become law.

“Meanwhile what Mr President laid on the table of the National Assembly is a budget proposal and I do not for now understand what could be called padding because it is only if the budget is considered, passed, harmonized between the House and the Senate, transmitted to the President, it is assented into law and after assent, some other thing is added thereafter, that is what may be termed to constitute padding in law,” he stated.

Yet they will still shout Buhari even when they cannot have erection or impregnant their wives

The Federal Government had in July released the second tranche of N243.79bn, bringing the amount so far disbursed to states as refund under the Paris Club loan to N760.17bn.

A breakdown of the amount showed that five states received the highest amount of N10bn each.

The states are Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Kano, and Rivers.

The total amount of N50bn received by these five states represents 20.5 per cent of the entire amount released under the second tranche.

This is how PDP will be dumbfounded when APC wins with 18m votes in 2019
