Abia Is in Motion Without Movement – APC Chairman, Chijioke Chukwu

The Abia State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Chijioke Chukwu, has described the current state of governance in Abia as “motion without movement,” alleging that the government of the Labour Party has failed to translate available resources into tangible development.

Speaking during the inauguration of the 17 Local Government Area chairmen elected at the recently concluded ward and LGA congresses, Chukwu maintained that beyond what he termed “sponsored propaganda and social media noise,” the administration of Governor Alex Otti has not significantly advanced the state beyond the level it met on assumption of office.

According to the APC chairman, the scale of infrastructural development being publicized the state government is not commensurate with the volume of funds accruing to Abia from the Federal Government. He argued that effective governance should reflect visibly in economic vibrancy, infrastructure, and improved livelihoods.

Chukwu further criticized what he described as the declining economic activity in the state, stating that “only a complacent government would allow its city centres to shut down 7 p.m. and reopen 6 a.m., therelosing valuable man-hours and revenue that ought to flow into the state’s purse.” He stressed that a thriving economy requires deliberate policies that encourage nightlife, commerce, and investor confidence.

Addressing the newly inaugurated party chairmen, Chukwu charged them to sustain the prevailing peace and unity within the APC. He cautioned against the misuse of office or alienation of new entrants into the party, urging them to embrace inclusiveness and collective responsibility.

“This is serious business,” he said. “The reason we are here is to win elections — to deliver President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and to reclaim Government House, Umuahia.”

He directed the LGA chairmen to intensify grassroots mobilization and expand party membership across their domains, warning that indolence would not be tolerated under his leadership. He, however, assured them of adequate support and improved welfare to enable them discharge their responsibilities effectively.

Chukwu described the APC as the only vibrant and healthy political party in Abia State, boasting what he termed the widest grassroots appeal. “We do not believe in social media noise. We are rooted in the grassroots, and we must preserve that strength to secure victory in all forthcoming elections,” he stated, urging them to proceed with the inauguration of ward executives in their respective local government areas.

In his vote of thanks, the Chairman of Isiala Ngwa North LGA, Hon. Onyeukwu Nwogu, expressed appreciation to party members for the confidence reposed in them. He pledged that the newly elected executives would work diligently to consolidate party structures and deliver electoral victory for the APC in 2027.
