Emetu commends Old Bende’s Bond, Unity of Purpose.
Abia State Deputy Governor Engr Ikechukwu Emetu has expressed great pleasure on the bond of unity and purpose existing among the arteries that constituted the Old Bende Division.
Speaking while welcoming Members of Old Bende Progressive Forum on a courtesy visit to his Office in Umuahia, Engr Emetu said it was gratifying to note that the people of Arochukwu, Bende, Ikwuano, Isuikwuato, Umuahia South, Umuahia North and Umunneochi and part of Afikpo in Ebonyi State have not allowed the creation of States and Local Governments for administrative purposes to come in between their bond and relationship.
He recalled that it was only in Old Bende that Governor Alex Otti recorded landslide victory during the 2023 Governorship Election and commended the Forum for their deep thought for the Governor and the planned reception for him which he noted was unprecedented in the history of the State where different Local Government jointly planned to celebrate a Government known to have done much in the lives of the People.
He said that Alex Otti’s led Government has changed the narrative in Governance by rekindling the peoples confidence and trust that the Government can indeed be alive and responsive to the needs and yeanings of the People.
The Deputy Governor pointed out the case of Aba, which today has been undergoing massive transformation, stating that the massive support the Government enjoys was an indication of love and appreciation of what the Government is doing not only in the Commercial Nerve Center, but across the State.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Contact and Mobilisation Committee and Leader of the Delegation, Chief Jerry Kalu, said that they came to inform him about their programme of Organizing a Reception for the Governor and his Deputy.
Chief Kalu commended the Governor for changing the narrative in Governance with the reconstruction works going on in Aba roads, and renovation of Health Centers, among others which are highly appreciated.
He said that they would be doing a great disservice to the Public if they fail to appreciate the Governor for the good work he is doing by pledging their support and offer words of advice where necessary.
