Abia Gov., Ikpeazu Awarded 'Worst Governor' for 2016 (Abians Lament)

Abia Gov., Ikpeazu Awarded ‘Worst Governor’ for 2016 (Abians Lament)

By: Uche Nwosu

After my visit to Aba, Abia state during the yuletide, I can sadly say that we’ve made another terrible mistake in leadership! There is very little sign of good leadership in the state. Aba is an eyesore! Very dirty… Bad roads… severe hardship… God help us! The propaganda flagged-off roads have been abandoned after buildings have been demolished in Ibadan st, Ibere st, Agharandu st, etc. Ngwa road (New Market), Ohanku road and Obohia is a no go area. Street cultism is the order of the day. Teens moving in packs of 20-30 waylaying, robbing, raping and killing people. Their lingua is “whither you”… Criminals are having a field day in Aba. No single day passes by without an incident of public armed robbery especially at Iheorji, Umunkama, Owerri-Aba, Ohanku, Ibadan street areas. Abia got it wrong again! The abandoned iron rods for gutter construction in Ibere street has claimed 3 lives so far. One person was impaled through the neck by the rods. My dad fell & broke his leg in it too. He could have been the fourth. He is still bedridden since the first week of December 2016. I had to relocate my parents.

Most of the policemen there are no different from touts. Moving about with machetes, trench clubs, iron pipes and all sorts of dangerous weapons harassing innocent citizens/motorists for bribes. The military have been compromised. They are now tools of oppression. Bribe them and they will beat down your enemy. Those fools camped in Ndoki Road Primary School (Ngwa Road, Aba) are worse. They have lost sight of their initial mission. Harassing girls selling wares. Bigotry is their mission statement. A little misunderstanding with a Northerner and you will get reported to the northern military boys in Aba. The northern military boys will not even ask what transpired. They will beat you and ask questions later. The people are stomaching it for now but if not checked, an uprisal is inevitable.

Ikpeazu fix Abia. I know you have the capacity to do it. Don’t leave Abia to rot. I beg you in the name of whatever/whoever you hold sacred. Edakun! Biko o… Inula?

Ikpeazu is indeed the worst governor for 2016, I pray 2017 will be better.
