…says a new Abia is possible

Mr Obinna Oriaku, a former Abia Finance Commissioner, has formally declared his intention to contest the governorship seat of the State in 2023 on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Oriaku who declared his governorship aspiration Tuesday, at his residence in Owerrinta, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area of Abia State, promised to partner good spirited Abians in order to usher in a lasting economic solution, with attendant enforcement, that will push the policies to fruition.

On why he has decided to throw his hat into the ring, Oriaku noted that he would inspire prosperity in the state.

He added: “Our agenda and strategy are devoid of clannish consideration or primordial, albeit obsolete and opportunity postulation. thus there will be no ethnic division but one united Abia with shared values and common heritage.

“We will ensure that mediocrity is uprooted for excellence. We will engender sustainable, enduring and people oriented programs and policies that will affect positively the lives of all Abians.”

He added that his government would also consider all Abians as one family and would create no boundaries, but will rather dig deeper into the challenges that hinder development in the state.

“As an advocate of good governance that is not predicted on God fatherism, i will ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. we will change the paradigm and rejig both our cultural and social values and it’s is not in doubt if Obinna has the wherewithal to achieve it, my antecedents will speak for me.

“I promise to populate our government with men and women who are passionate and knowledgeable on Abia problems and have the precise solutions with zero tolerance to corruption.

“By God’s grace, Abia will witness a new face of technocrats with local knowledge and ability to deploy human and material resources in Abia to develop the State,” he also said.
