Abia State Governor Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu has said he will continue to identify with his colleague and Governor of Ebonyi State Engr Dave Nwaeze Umahi irrespective of their political party difference.
Ikpeazu spoke on Sunday in Abakiliki the Ebonyi State Capital during the 58th birthday celebration and thanksgiving service for the Governor of Ebonyi State.
“Those who expect me not to attend the birthday of Governor Umahi are short sighted. There are only 5 states in the South East, so we cannot afford the luxury of lacing our politics with enmity and bitterness. Zones with more states can go ahead and live in hatred. Here in the South East, we are already marginalized and pressed on all sides, and so we must remain united in all agenda of protecting our struggling population even in our divergent political views and as we sing different parts in the choir of political development.
Dave and I have been friends and brothers before we both became Governors and we will remain so, long after we leave office” he said.
