24 years ago precisely on the 27 of august 1991, I was at Azikiwe Rd Umuahia when the news of the creation of Abia state filtered into the air. Everyone was happy and expectant on the creation of our dear state which to most of us then was long overdue . God has blessed the state with Many leaders, rulers and administrators who has come and gone leaving their developmental legacies. The state have had its own share of challenges, but in all these things the Lord God delivered them from all. Let's concentrate on the things we now have hoping that the ones we don't have will surely come by.
I wish to use this opportunity to congratulate all Abians on the journey so far, we have not faired badly as a state, we may not have achieved our desired aim but the truth is that we have not been stagnant. One by one all the leaders who have governed this state have contributed their quota in the development of today's Abia state. To our leaders, we pray that God almighty will continue to guide you all for sustaining the Abia state we have today and it is our desire to give the up coming generation the Abia state of their dreams. As we celebrate, let's not forget the biblical injunction urging us to pray for our leaders because leadership is an honor no man gives to himself. Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, the governor of our dear Abia state needs our collective prayers, for in his success lies the success of Abians and it's residents.
One pledge I will want all Abians to make is that THE LABOURS OF OUR HEROES PAST SHALL NEVER BE IN VAIN.
