David Maduako –Umuahia

The Abía State chapter of the Labour Party, have formerly welcomed the former Social Democratic Party SDP 2023 Guber candidate Dr. Mrs Ngozika Gladys Johnson Chukwuneye into her fold .

Performing the function at Labour party Secretariat along school road Umuahia , the Leader of the party in the state His Excellency governor Alex Óttï said that Dr. Johnson-Chukwunenye contested the 2023 governorship election on the platform of the SDP, describing her participation as courageous, particularly as a woman seeking elective office.

The Governor, who responded to concerns about what would happen after the end of his tenure in 2031, said the most important legacy any government could leave for its people is good governance.

The Governor said he is not interested in contesting for a Senate position in 2031, neither is he interested in godfatherism, adding that the person that will succeed him will do better than himself and would be produced by all Abians.

“So, what I can assure you is that by the time I’m done, the person that will succeed me will be better than me. Once I finish this one, I will retire. I want the young people to take over. We should stop this sit-tight syndrome.

Governor Otti said his administration is more focused on addressing the most pressing challenges facing Abia, noting that its achievements are the result of deliberate planning and prioritisation.

The Governor also announced that the administration had prioritised the restoration of Aba and Umuahia and is now extending its interventions to communities in the hinterlands.

The Governor thanked the Labour Party leadership, members and supporters for their commitment to the administration and welcomed Dr. Johnson-Chukwunenye and her supporters into the party, assuring them of his continued commitment to the development of Abia State.

Earlier, Dr. Ngozika Gladys Johnson-Chukwunenye said her decision to join the Labour Party is to support Governor Otti’s administration after closely following developments in the State and observing what she described as positive changes under the present administration.

She cited the payment of salary arrears, regular payment of workers’ salaries, attention to pensioners and the rehabilitation of roads in Umuahia and Aba as some of the developments that influenced her decision.
End.
