Have you seen this image?
The story behind it represents the essential Governor Okezie Ikpeazu some of us know.
You will recall that as a candidate for office of Governor he personally fed destitute at a charity event and some thought it was merely for votes.
And now as governor.......
Last December he was inspecting construction work at Okigwe road and as usual people gathered around him and gave his security details something to chew. In the midst of the cacophony an elderly woman screamed "Okezie gbaram christmas" and he stopped his convoy that was about moving, brought out money and gave her. I can confirm he did not give her N1k as speculated by some. His gift to the woman was at least enough to buy 1 bag of rice for christmas.
Yesterday during the commissioning of the same road off Okigwe road I saw the woman and her neighbors dancing and telling people about "her son". She also prayed for him and you get the sense that the woman did not forget.
The publication of this picture also reminded me of something that happened in the early days of his administration that I shared with readers: stopping his convoy to evacuate accident victims and even following them to the hospital to make sure payment of their bill does not delay treatment.
Should I also re-tell the story of the hawkers because of who the governor stopped on the highway enroute Umuahia, shook their hands, told them to make sure they only hawk after school and promised to enroll them in skill acquisition program? Following that opportune meeting, the Abia State Education for Employment team registered those hawkers and they are currently undergoing skill acquisition training at BTC Aba alongside others. Registration of others is still ongoing and the objective is to train and employ at least 50,000 Abia youths.
I guess real leadership shows in little things like caring about others, rich and poor. Governor Okezie is leading well, if so.

Okay

Bros are you Ikpeazu's nairaland mouthpiece?
