The outgoing governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu says his journey as governor for eight years is an unshaken fidelity to his covenant with the people of Abia State that yielded what he set out to achieve.
In his farewell broadcast on Sunday, Ikpeazu who had earlier dissolved the state Executive Council, said “The last eight years have been a journey. A journey in unshaken fidelity to our covenant with the people of Abia State, a journey in the unprecedented transformation of the infrastructural landscape of Abia State. In the course of the last 8 years, there were highs and naturally, there were lows too but without a shadow of a doubt, we are leaving Abia State better than we met it.”
Ikpeazu who said he is leaving the state’s number one office as a fulfilled man declared that he bears no grudge against anyone.
All things considered, I leave office a fulfilled man. The son of a Teacher and a Nurse who rose to become Governor of Abia State and who did his best for his people. My story offers hope to all Abians. Remain diligent in your endeavours and there is no limit to the heights you can attain.”
The governor who recalled his achievements in all areas of Abia’s governance and economy said “Again, I place it on record that I wish the incoming government well.
“I bear no grudge against anyone. I harbour no ill feelings. My heart is full of gratitude. I have played my part, I have done my best. I shall remain available to offer support when called upon and without a doubt, we have laid a solid foundation for the incoming government to build upon.
