There were opposition candidates. These people contested against Ikpeazu, but God decided that Ikpeazu must be Governor. And when we set up a reconciliation committee to inform people that God has decided that Ikpeazu will be Governor, but there were too many people opposing Ikpeazu, especially from Ngwa land.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cMost of them did not support Ikpeazu and didn\u2019t want to be Governor. Today, I see them jumping around Ikpeazu. Where were they? They even wanted to undermine the votes from Ikpeazu\u2019s local government, Obingwa, but I refused. I helped to protect the votes from Obingwa and made sure it was counted. Some people from Obingwa can bear me witness. Today, Ikpeazu does not want to listen to good advice from anybody.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Secretary to the Abia State Government, Dr. Eme Okoro, says Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has excluded those who helped to bring him to office as Governor in 2015 and 2019,&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":65576,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-94991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gov.
