The<br \/>\nparty added another feather to its cap of infamy recently when a faction<br \/>\nled by one Rev. Augustine Ehiemere, in one of their futile attempts to<br \/>\nattract the sympathy of Abians, levelled all manner of allegations against<br \/>\nGov. Okezie Ikpeazu. The\u00a0 release shows how haphazard a &#8220;cut and join&#8221;<br \/>\ncarpenter can be.<\/p>\n<p>Hardly had the release hit the air, when a chieftain and chairman of the<br \/>\nmainstream APGA in the state, Prince Nnanna Ukaegbu,took a swipe on the<br \/>\nfaction.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting Ukaegbu, the allegations were &#8220;childish and uncoordinated&#8221;. He was<br \/>\nfurther amazed how an opposition, he said was still operating in a campaign<br \/>\nmood, could churn out such spurious and laughable allegations.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed the APGA concoction is a full representation of childishness and and<br \/>\nlack of coordination. It is a hatchet job by an unskilled craftsman. This<br \/>\nwas profoundly exposed in its opening paragraph:&#8221; After keen observation<br \/>\nand through(sic) analysis of all that has transpired since the inauguration<br \/>\nof the PDP led government in Abia State, the All Progressives Grand<br \/>\nAlliance (APGA) has found grounds to doubt the vision, seriousness, and<br \/>\nsincerity of the Okezie Ikpeazu led government in most of the actions,<br \/>\npolicies, and programs it has embarked upon(sic) so far&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The party continued in its journey of ignominy thus:&#8221;Although APGA has<br \/>\nnever really expected the PDP led government to offer purposeful leadership<br \/>\nto Abians considering it (sic) questionable pattern and route of<br \/>\nemergence, yet APGA did not expect to witness this volume of administrative<br \/>\nsummersault (archaic spelling of somersault)and well packaged anti-people<br \/>\ndeceit within the short time of existence of this government, we therefore<br \/>\nexpress our dislike, displeasure, and disapproval to some of these<br \/>\nundemocratic and inglorious actions&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Ikpeazu has emphasised on several occasions that his government will<br \/>\nrun on a 100- day circle arrangement, so it would be very appropriate for<br \/>\nthese APGA hireling to wait until the expiration of Gov. Ikpeazu&#8217;s first<br \/>\n100 days in office to see if he was able to deliver on the promises he made.<\/p>\n<p>The governor assured Abians recently that at least 80 percent of the<br \/>\nongoing projects would be completed within his first 100 days in office.<br \/>\nLike E.B White aptly captures&#8221;Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form<br \/>\nopinions without having to get the facts&#8221;.These hireling have not bothered<br \/>\nto visit the sites and get first hand assessment of the works going on<br \/>\nthere. You can only inform when you are informed.<\/p>\n<p>The group&#8217;s question on the salary arrears of workers demonstrates how<br \/>\nmyopic, mischievous and hollow\u00a0 rented critics can be. It is a common<br \/>\nknowledge that the salary arrears issue is not peculiar to Abia State and<br \/>\nis not the making of Ikpeazu.<\/p>\n<p>The asininity of this APGA faction came to a disturbing height in the<br \/>\nfollowing lines:&#8221;That considering the level of decay in infrastructure in<br \/>\nthe state, especially Aba, we had expected the Governor to carry out a<br \/>\ncomprehensive tour, inspection, and evaluation of roads in Aba and carry<br \/>\nout palliative measures on majority of the roads through AROMA and Abia<br \/>\nMinistry of Works for immediate relief of our people pending the end of the<br \/>\nrainy season, unfortunately, for reasons best known to Dr. Ikpeazu he has<br \/>\nchosen to hastily scratch on many projects that cannot make immediate<br \/>\nimpact on the lives of the people, like the so called dredging of water<br \/>\nside, while abandoning those projects of urgent public importance, this is<br \/>\nindeed a misplacement of priority of the people&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The above advise could have been more useful if the group had suggested the<br \/>\nprojects that are more important and beneficial than the reconstruction of<br \/>\nroads, desilting of drainages and dredging of the Aba River.<\/p>\n<p>To show how unserious and mischievous they are, the group in one instance<br \/>\nacknowledged that there is infrastrucural decay in Aba; and in another<br \/>\nreverses itself by saying that Gov. Ikpeazu&#8217;s Aba Urban Renewal drive would<br \/>\nnot have positive impact on the people. That is the climax of standing<br \/>\nlogic on the head.<\/p>\n<p>It will be recalled that Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State, is noted<br \/>\nfor perennial flooding, which renders the streets of the city impassable<br \/>\nafter heavy rains. The situation has contributed substantially to the<br \/>\ncollapse of the roads shortly after construction.<br \/>\nAbia State government began the dredging of Aba River, popularly known as<br \/>\nWaterside recently. The dredging was informed by the government<br \/>\ncommitment to give a facelift to Aba through its Aba Urban Renewal<br \/>\nPolicy.<\/p>\n<p>The dredging ensured the excavation of debris and the expansion of the<br \/>\nbanks of the river to accommodate more flood water from the drainage<br \/>\ncrisscrossing the city. The exercise is the fulcrum of all exercises<br \/>\ntrailing the Aba Urban Renewal drive such as massive road constructions;<br \/>\ndesilting of drainage, among others.<\/p>\n<p>The exercises enjoy spiral relationship and are bound to run in chain. For<br \/>\nroads constructed to be durable, solid drainage systems must accompany<br \/>\nthem. And for the drainage not to be blocked, they must be desilted. Also,<br \/>\nfor the channels not to overflow and flood the roads, they must be emptied<br \/>\nsomewhere.<\/p>\n<p>So, the tripartite actions of road constructions; desilting of the<br \/>\ndrainage; dredging of Aba river, emphasize strong commitment of Governor<br \/>\nOkezie Ikpeazu to deliver durable roads to Aba residents- as he has<br \/>\ncontinuously stressed that he was committed to deliver to Aba residents<br \/>\nsolidly constructed roads accompanied by drainage and street lighting.<\/p>\n<p>Also ,during the colonial era, the river was one of the routes through<br \/>\nwhich the colonial masters traveled\u00a0 to Azumiri and Opopo in the present<br \/>\nday Rivers State. Abia State government wants to reintroduce such transport<br \/>\nsystem. This will reduce the transport cost and also ameliorate the harsh<br \/>\ntraffic situation within the Ogbor- Hill axis.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the river has potentials, if properly harnessed, that<br \/>\ncould turn it to a\u00e2\u20ac\u0153tourist haven\u00e2\u20ac. This will attract tourists from across<br \/>\nthe globe and rake in huge revenue for the state.<\/p>\n<p>For a state striving to raise its internally-generated revenue from between<br \/>\nN300 to N500million, it was initially hovering, to N1.5billion, i think<br \/>\nthat Gov. Ikpeazu is on the right track by fixing infrastructure,<br \/>\nespecially roads in Aba.<\/p>\n<p>APGA in Abia State is indeed a study of an opposition in irredeemable<br \/>\ndisarray. It situation deserves pity. It is also the apt description of the<br \/>\nproverbial man that chases rat while his house was on fire.<\/p>\n<p>One would have expected the party to conduct an appraisal of its disastrous<br \/>\nouting in the last governorship election in Abia State.Since the party shot<br \/>\nitself on the leg by smuggling through the back door Dr. Alex Otti to fly<br \/>\nits flag in the governorship election, sleep has eluded it.<\/p>\n<p>The party since that inglorious action, allegedly perpetrated by the then<br \/>\nnational leadership of the party, has been enmeshed in one crisis or the<br \/>\nother which culminated in litigations.<\/p>\n<p>No army, no matter how sophisticated it is, wins a battle without unity and<br \/>\ncoordination.It is pertinent for the faction to heed to the advice of<br \/>\nPrince Nnanna Ukaegbu by supporting &#8220;the perfoming governor who has done<br \/>\nextremely well with the meagre resources available to him&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ukaegbu,&#8221;The people are in panic mood , they spread propaganda<br \/>\nthat Ikpeazu can&#8217;t deliver , now their propaganda is being torn down- Dr.<br \/>\nIkpeazu is taking governance to where it has never been before;and they are<br \/>\nresorting to name calling and pull him syndrome strategy-thinking that that<br \/>\nwill strengthen the case of their candidate (Otti) before the court of<br \/>\npublic opinion&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>While Otti&#8217;s APGA strive fruitlessly to strengthen his case in the court of<br \/>\npublic opinion, they should heed to Christ&#8217;s admonition to the religious<br \/>\nleaders in Matthew 12:25 Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to<br \/>\ndesolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>-Ukegbu is a journalist and public affairs analyst.
