Those saying the man is the worst governor in Nigeria are either ignorant of where Ab was before the man came in or might not have visited Aba recently. Granted, He may not have fixed everywhere in Aba, but nobody can come here and say he is the worst Governor in Nigeria when states like Ekiti, Ogun, Osun, etc. haven't done as much as he has done in a densely populated and Urbanized. And nobody can also dare say that he is the worst Governor Abia have. Of course he is not the best in SE. But he is not the worst in Nigeria.

He may not be the best in SE, but he is definitely not the Worst in Nigeria(even in the South) nor the worst in Abia. I don't like him either that much as I love Umahi. But I can't in all sincerity say he is the worst in Abia or Nigeria.

For Start, before Ikpeazu came in, all the roads in Aba were either muddy or not motorable, I mean ALL!. No good roads were in ABa. It was as bad as that. Ikpeazu in his first tenure did a lot of road construction. Today, some roads like Port Harcourt Road and Ngwa Road all in Aba is now wearing a new look. These are roads that people used to mock Aba before if they want to share bad and disgusting roads in Aba. Today the story is different as those roads are advancing completion and the governor has said that they wll be completed before leaving office.

I am from Rivers State, but my mum is from Aba, so I know what I am saying.

I am not here to praise him, but I am here to state fact!

I am sure everybody knows this road, this popular pic was used to depict Aba as dirty, but the stor is changing

NGWA ROAD NOW ONGOING CONSTRUCTION:

One thing I like about the road is that it has udergroud drainage and sidewalks.


OVERALL ROADS IN MOST PART OF ABA (RECONSTRUCTED/CONSTRUCTED BY IKPEAZU):

Note these roads were not fully pliable before Ikpeazu came in.


I detested going to Aba because of this junction. I once dipped my fine white canvas into the mud in Osisioma Junction when I visited my cousin at Tonimas junction. It was horible. Even the place where my cousin lived I knew what I passed through when I visited them in 2015. I did a jumping marathon to get to their house. Now the road is tared and marked. The road is opposite Tonimas Junction, Beside Becuz Fast food.

So my dear, Ipkeazu might not have fixed the whole of Aba in 8 years, but truth be told, he has changed so many roads and the face of Aba today.

One of the major things I'll give Ikpeazu Kudos for is the 30 years plan he did for Abia and the Enyimba Economic City. My prayer is that the new Governor do better than him and focus more on building a better Abia.

Ikpeazu might not be the best, but he performed better than the current governors in Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, and most northern states (except Kano, Kaduna and Borno).

Daalu.

The roads he constructed are many and I don't have the time to upload them all here.

While this is not enough for a densely urbanized town as Aba, I still won't agree that he is the worst governor in Nigeria or Abia State. He did something tangible.

you are the biggest clown that never perfomed

kettykings:

I am ot saying he solved all the problems in Abia. I am saying you can's say he never did anything if you are truthful to yourself.

My prayer is for all future governors in the East to be like Ikpeazu.

Thanks for your objective criticism. Ikpeazu Okezie came to Abia like an orphan whose greedy uncles appropriated all his inheritance. He set to work amidst jeering and mockery to mend his father's leaky roofs. Today Abia/Aba is far better and more presentable than it was 7 years ago. I know many roads that were completely abandoned and turned to market place- Star Paper Mill road, Ehere road, Ukwu mango ( pre 1999), Ngwa road etc. Today the story is different. He failed in health care and civil servants emoluments.

There is a lot of work to be done, but in all sincerity he did well.

Milverton has started failing.

Which Port Harcourt road was built?


Paid urchins are the ones defending Ikpeazu.

Faulks road, built rubbish.

I'm from Abia I know he did most of these roads ..he's not fantastic and not bad either

NwekereNdoki:

listen to yourself!

You can only compare failure with failure!

For 8 solid years, this is all Ikpeazu can show

Instead of serving the people, he is using the monies to service godfathers

I am happy that you admitted that going by the expected, Ikpeazu has not done well!

Dey Call-out states like Edo and Delta, not Ekiti and Ogun abeg!

NwekereNdoki:

Please don't respond to them. Anyone who insults you for saying the truth should not be dignified by your response. They would have preferred he did nothing so they continue their insults.

If all the governors worked as he did, today Aba would be doing something else instead of Roads.

The most important thing Aba needs right now is good access roads, not Flyovers. Aba is one of the most planned cities in Nigeria.

It may not even need too many flyovers cause it has grid roads crisscrossing with each other. Making those roads pliable to me is the most important thing right now.

I appreciate the fact that he does most of the urban roads with closed gutters and underground drainages

Abia should exchange Enugu people with their. take ugwuanyi and give ENUGU ikpeazu. ikpeazu did alot of works in abia despite he is a failure but Enugu state governor is the worst

Snap the section that's failing and post it here. Port Harcourt road is under construction. Not completed

Tell us, what has Ekiti and Ogun State done

More than the Two ex-Bendel States, theres always a better Bad

God bless you my brother, most of the people that always criticize that man are either Tinubu or APC supporters.

The problem of Okezie Ikpeazu is that the federal roads that lead to Aba, especially from Enugu and Port Harcourt, are not in good shape.

It gives a wrong impression of the governor.
The governor ought to fix it and ask for a refund from the federal government.

Dem say na from signpost dem dey take know how office go be and na for mess (fart) you go take know how shit (faeces) go take smell.

Don't mind those APC supporters, Ipkeazu is trying his best.

You're so used to mediocrity that a mediocre you still praise. Abia has never had a leader. Neither has Imo. What most states have had are criminals that stole 90% of common patrimony and deceived the deceive ables like you with 10% of what is due the people.

Osusu Road is one of those horrible roads.

There are lots of roads in Aba to cover. And I am sure that the next governor (preferably Nna of YPP) will do the remaining work. The next governor must focus on roads and the beautification of Aba. They have to plant trees and regularly weep the roads. Those sands on the roads are really eye sores.

But till then, I just want to let you know that Aba is ripe and ready to harvest.

Also, I want to bring to you notice that Abia is collaborating with Private organizations and the FG to build a new City at the border with PH/Rivers State. It's in the advanced stage now and work will commence next year. More details here: https://eecdgroup.com/about.html

So keep your money cause soonest, IPO will be made available for the public to invest in.

Personally, we are not there yet, we are very far from where we should be, but it's important we appreciate every good step taken.

Abia is rising.

e dey pain you?

Who dey follow am drag the position.


Ikpeazu is the number 1.

Ur opinion is insignificant.

So Aba equals Abia State to you NwekereNdoki?

You are actually confused, not sure you are from Rivers or Abia.

We who are Abians, myself an Ngwa man like the governor, crown him the worst governor in Nigeria and the very worst Abia has seen and you are here to launder his image to us.

Who is bankrolling you?

Is Wike owing Civil Servant like Ikpeazu currently does? Coming first in Nigeria as the most workers unfriendly governor, owing the highest number of arrears and in many cases adjudicating the State responsibility to pay civil servants.

You just mentioned a few roads he built, roads that LG chairmen should build if the system was working as intended and you are praising him.

Okezie Victor Ikpeazu has proven that education and poverty is not enough to make a politician a good leader.

He holds a PhD in industrial chemistry, how many industries did he resuscitate or even attract to Abia State? He was a pauper about a decade ago and only smelt money as governor, proceeds of looting state funds.

There's no reason whatsoever to rank the Abia State glutton among responsible governors. At his age, he is a shame to the intellectual community.

OUK and TAO ruined Abia, ikpeazu has tried his best within the power of resources available to the state.

XerXers:

That's the point. He is not entirely a failure

How can someone who fails to pay salaries of teachers from Primary school to university not be a failure? What can he be then?

Does he owe himself salary?

And how does fixing some roads, not all roads in Aba amount to doing well?

There's no road whatsoever to my village. Do you people even reason beyond the surface or you are so naive?
