Ikpeazu: I won’t exchange words with my predecessors

Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, says he would not join issues with any of his predecessors.

Ikpeazu, in a reaction to a statement credited to the immediate past governor of Abia State, Senator T.A.Orji, he is proudly carrying the cross of the governance of the state and will continue to carry it till his last day in office.

The governor made this known via a statement issued on Saturday, May 13, by his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka.

He noted for the almost eight years he has held office as governor, he has not engaged any of his predecessors in any kind of untoward exchange, even when it seemed politically expedient to do so.

“This policy is largely responsible for the sociopolitical stability we have enjoyed in Abia State since 2015. The Governor intends to sustain this personal policy going forward.

“Finally, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu is of the firm view that as in all matters, history and posterity will, over time, put all things in proper perspective,” Ememanka stated.
