Abia crisis: Assembly passes vote of confidence on gov Ikpeazu

Despite the political impasse in Abia State and near breakdown of law and
order due to political distractions over the controversial judgment of
Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja, the Abia State
House of Assembly has passed a vote of confidence on governor Okezie
Ikpeazu, saying he remained the best man for the job
The House at plenary last Tuesday, passed a vote of implicit confidence on
the Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, after a motion moved by the member
representing Obingwa West State Constituency and Chairman, House Committee
on Public Petitions, Hon. Thomos Nkoro.
A statement issued on Thursday by the Chief Press Secretary to the
governor, Enyinnaya Appolos, said in moving the motion, Nkoro said it has
become absolutely necessary in view of the political turmoil that has
enveloped the state, which has hitherto, thrown the entire Abia in
confusion, since the ruling by court of first instance.
Hon. Nkoro frowned at the conflicting reports emanating from the media and
the consequent bandwagon effect, saying it has instilled fear in investors
and Abians in general and thereby moved a motion of implicit confidence in
Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, Ph.D., and the entire Government of Abia
and affirming that Abia has only one Government of Abia and affirming that
Abia has only one Government.
While making their contributions, members representing Bende North
constituency and Deputy Speaker, Rt. Hon. Cosmos Ndukwe; Isiala Ngwa
South, Hon. Barr. Chukwendu Kanu; Umuahia East, Hon. Chukwudi Apugo; and
Obingwa East, Hon. Solomon Akpulonu enjoined all those involved in the
litigation to let go personal interest but consider the overall wellbeing
of Abians as this will not only impact negatively on Abians but will also
scare investors in the state.
They appealed to the parties to leverage on the governor's good
performance in the last one year to support him with brilliant ideas,
while also calling on them to bring their business to the state, with the
aim to move it forward.
The Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Martins Azubuike, appealed to investors
in the state, to carry on with their businesses, reiterating that the
House will make sure their businesses are not under any form of threat.
He equally used the medium to appeal to President Mohammed Buhari and the
International community to douse the situation, saying that the state will
abide by the rulings of the court when all the issues before it are
finally concluded.
The House therefore unanimously passed a vote of implicit confidence on
the Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, urging him to continue rendering his
remarkable and landmark services to Abia People.
