Executive war: APGA blasts Abia Gov, says ‘resign if you can’t perform’

Governor of Abia State, Theodore Orji popularly known as Ochendo is seriously under heavy attacks. These attacks have nothing to do with the Bokom Haram pillage or the crisis threatening some parts of the nation, the attacks are from The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Abia State chapter Civil Liberties Organization, thus calling on the resignation of the governor if he cant perform.

In a joint statement signed by Prince Nnanna Ukaegbu and Chief Sunday Evuru denied the allegation by some top government functionaries in the state, that it was APGA  that mobilized people that booed the governor and threw sachet water at the governor in Aba.

It reads: “The governor should toe the part of reason and listen to the yearnings of Abia people who are groaning under his governance and immediately respond to their plight by providing the dividends of democracy instead of looking for whom to blame.

There is no where in democracy the people cannot express their displeasure with the way they are being governed as they did on February 28, at the Enyimba Stadium which was a clamour for responsive and responsible governance.

“APGA in Abia State decry the resort by Orji’s aides to name-calling, heightened propaganda and unmerited pontification in response to the peoples’ demand for good governance and provision of basic amenities.

“As we call on Orji to perform and discharge his constitutional responsibilities to the people of Abia State or where he is unable to do so, to honourably resign, we equally challenge the state government to assemble a team of journalists from reputable media houses to undertake a tour of not just the roads claimed to have been rehabilitated but the entire Aba and Abia State at the expense of our great party.

After all, the roads claimed to have been built by the government are not in Moscow (Russia) nor in New York (United States of America), they are all in Aba” They submitted.

Meanwhile, the Civil Liberties Organization (CLO), Aba chapter has condemned the sacking of commissioners and other aides in the state by the governor, noting that the booing of the governor last week at the Enyimba Stadium in Aba during the reception of the remains of the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu would not solve the unpopularity problem starring the government in the face.
