An All Progressives Congress Chieftain and a vocal politician in Abia State, Chief Chidiebere Okoh, has praised the senator representing the good people of Abia North Senatorial Zone for his unparalleled leadership disposition in bringing dividends of democracy closer to the people through human-friendly intervention and developmental initiatives that have never been seen in the zone

“Since stepping into this office as Abia North Senator, you have initiated and carried out many road projects, supported rural agricultural programs, and empowered the youths through free education and skills acquisition throughout the zone. No wonder you have continued to be close to the heart of the people as the people’s senator.

“Your interventionist policies have ensured that many communities of Abia North Zone who were groaning under the pains of dilapidated and unpassable roads now enjoy the beauty of modern road networks even to the most remote areas of the zone. This can be possible only when the leader understands the pulse of his people and is always inclined towards addressing them. For all these I say more grease to your elbow”, he said.

He also praised the former governor of Abia State for coming clean on the issue of receiving salaries after serving as governor of Abia State, which was a big lie against him. He argued that the clarification that he never took any allowance after leaving office is a sign of his goodwill to the people and any predecessor that was taking such money was only enriching himself at the detriment of the state.

Chief Chidiebere Okoh, the Convener and Director of Market Youth Congress (MYC), a good governance and democratic advocacy pressure group in Nigeria also cautioned the Abia All Progressives Congress, APC to be careful of how they welcome old and expired People Democratic Party politicians who are cross carpeting to APC. He expressed worry that they may be coming over to the APC as spies and moles that will further cause disharmony while the party is healing for a better future.

“It is worrisome that all the bad eggs of the People’s Democratic Party in Abia have chosen to abandon their camps where they fed fat on the pains of the masses, boldly decamping to APC and it is happening before the All Progressives Congress (APC) zonal caucus meeting, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 2, 2024.
These individuals include Mr. ACB Agbazuere, the former chief of staff to the state’s most recent governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Eze Chikamnayo, a former information commissioner, and Uzor Azubuike, a former member of the House of Representatives should not be welcomed to APC with open hands because they’re the problem of PDP and has proven to be fair weather politicians.
He who must dine with the devil must use a very long spoon to avoid regret”, he cautions.
