Forget About The Lies and Deceits, Aba is in Total Decay - Twitter User

A Twitter user, Jackson Ude has taken to his page to lament and lambast the Abia State Government for what he termed, "Bad Roads across Aba". According to him,

If you are from Abia state, listen up. Enough of all the lies and propaganda. Enough of all the deceits. Aba is in total decay. We must speak up now. Either Ikpeazu and his gangs shape up or ship out in 2019. Abia state is in decay. What is this???

Whether it is a federal road or not is not an excuse. Why do we have Federal Lawmakers, most of whom are lackeys of the Governor? If they cannot mobilize and have the roads fixed through federal appropriations, are they still worth our votes and support?

Shoemakers sent to China for training start their practical classes in China

30 Aba-based shoemakers sponsored by the Abia State Government have arrived Chengdu, China for a one-month training course. They will be trained in shoemaking at the Chengdu Zaproma Shoe Company.

When Governor Okezie Ikpeazu met with them prior to their departure, he pleaded with them not to vamoose into thin air so they do not block the road for those coming after them. We look forward to welcoming all 30 of them back on Nigerian soil.
