The Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has dedicated
his victory over Uche Ogah at the Supreme Court to the people of Abia state,
who he said stood by him all through the period of litigation.
In a statement
by his Chief Press Secretary, Enyinnaya Appolos, Governor Ikpeazu stated that
the victory is a re-affirmation of the mandate given to him by the people, and
now twice confirmed by the Supreme Court.
He stressed that only God will take
glory for the victory, and commended the judiciary for standing firm on the
side of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Ikpeazu called on
all Abians to join hands with him to ensure accelerated growth and development
of the state. ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads According to him; “the time
for politics is long over, and I have forgiven all those that were bent on
distracting me.
Let all well-meaning Abians, including my opponents, come and
join us to grow and develop our state without distractions as we ultimately
have stakes in the growth and development of our state and people “Today, there
is the work of Abia to do and history will judge us by how much of that work we
do, not by how much politics we play. My doors are open to all, my ears are
open to hear and my eyes are strong enough to read suggestions on how we can
best deliver greater dividends to those who really matter: the great people of
Abia State.”
