reports that critical stakeholders in Abia state including politicians across political divides and retired military officers have keyed into the rescue mission programme floated by All Progressives Congress’ Governorship candidate in the state, Ikechi Emenike
It was as a result of relentless efforts of High Chief IkechiEmenike, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Abia State. Even before his emergence as the flag bearer of the main Abia opposition party following the May 26, 2022 primary, Emenike had seen the need to galvaniseAbia’s stakeholders to save their state from misrule.
Top ranked retired police personnel, some in the rank of Assistant Inspector General, retired personnels of the Department of State Service and other retired paramilitary personnels are not left out. Gen Nwaogbo added that the ex-servicemen of Abia origin decided to take interest in the affairs of the state in order to stop the rot going on in the state. He lamented that Abia has been under the vicious grip of bad leaders whose stock in trade has been the devastation of the state.
The financial expert noted that the neighbouring states of Abia like Enugu and Ebonyi States started experiencing remarkable development “when the right people came into government and started making a difference”. He is particularly grateful that the ex-servicemen have come to identify with his Abia rescue movement. The Abia APC leader noted that it was rare in Igboland for retired servicemen to show interest in politics. “It is, therefore, gratifying that people that have served Nigeria are now showing interest in what is happening in Abia”.
While some categories of stakeholders are visible and are boldly proclaiming the rescue and develop message of Emenike, some other groups prefer to work behind the scene.
