Do you know that the Kamlu street and Ukaegbu road which the government is executing at an outrageous cost running into billions had earlier been awarded by NDDC at the cost of #120 million and #250 million respectively, why then is the government quoting #1.2billion for the said projects?’
Dr. Ikpeazu said that he has slashed his salary that is not up to one million naira, and yet refuses to talk about his security vote which stands at a whopping seven hundred and fifty million naira (#750 Million) monthly.
What a huge betrayal of Abia people, especially the highly indebted and suffering Abia workers.Ikpeazu said Abia workers would be paid on or before 24th June as he pledged, and has continued to make unholy claims on the radio as if the welfare of the suffering Abia workers does not matter.
States of the federation are employing the services of reputable construction companies to execute projects that would stand the test of time, Dr.Ikpeazu has chosen to consolidate on its marriage of secrecy and reckless plundering with the Ikuku-led New Idea Construction Company that milked Abia dry for good eight years.
Dr. Ikpeazu claims that his government has gotten a loan of two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000) from the African Development Bank (ADB) is deceitful. The process and procedures of securing such a loan as provided by law require the approval of the Abia state House of Assembly, the approval of the yet to be constituted Senate Committee on Finance, and above all, the scrutiny and approval of the Federal Ministry of Finance, of course these requirements have not been met, one therefore wonders where and how the government got the initial two billion naira (#2 Billion) it claimed to have gotten.
It is getting clearer Abians are on a 1 Chance bus. They said they are working for us but what they are actually doing is to put us into more suffering.
May God save us from the hands of people whose stock in trade are deceit.
Abia MUST be FREE…
