Rantings of Abia APGA, Abia CPS..... A must read

The rantings of APGA in Aba today is a misguided and ill-
conceived aggression against a government that is genuinely
serving the people of Abia even under a very tight situation.

 The
intentions of Governor Okezie ikpeazu for the masses of Abia are
very clear and these have been very well discerned and
appreciated by the public.

 This is evident in the sacrifice being
made by the Governor to rehabilitate the badly dilapidated
infrastructure of the commercial city of Aba. This effort is being
applauded by all and sundry except the few infinitesimal group
that call themselves APGA.


The demolition of illegal shops, kiosk, fences and buildings that
encroach into the service lane and on the roads is being carried
out only on the roads where the construction work is going on.
The notice to this effect was dully served to the public. As far as
the government of Abia State is concerned, any structure that
contravenes the town planning regulation as regards the
appropriate location of buildings and structures is an illegal
structure and such buildings must be pulled down by the time the
caterpillar gets to the point.


So far, the effort of the Governor in rebuilding Aba has received
widespread endorsement and commendation from residents and
visitors alike. People come out to cheer and rejoice as the illegal
structures fall to the caterpillars.

They are happy that a Daniel has
come to judgement, that Aba will be better again.
There is no selective pattern in the demolition exercise. Nobody is
being spared but the contractors on site might exercise their
discretion to delay demolition for technical purposes or to allow
time for people to evacuate their properties.

But, at the end, the
structures will still be demolished.

What the government is
seeking is the greatest good for the greatest number.
The Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, does not see any
illegal structure built on top of a drainage line or on the service
lane as a property. He sees it and treats it in the same manner
that a farmer sees and treats weeds that grow in the garden.
Having lost out on all fronts and with the imminent disaster that
awaits it in the tribunal, APGA is just clutching on any available
straw to stay afloat.

Their Press Conference this morning in Aba
is one of such distractions that it creates to attract attention. But,
the doomsday is just around the corner.

Godwin Adindu
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor
