When the name, Eze Chikamnayo was read out on twenty-sixth October, 2021, by Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu as the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Strategy, many people described the appointment a round peg on a round hole considering his credentials as a trained lawyer, media veteran as well as a strategist of note.
Dr. Eze Chikamnayo for sure is well fitted into the job of marketing, promoting and reshaping the under reported achievements of Governor Ikpeazu.
Truly, the Governor, having served Abians creditably for the past six and half years is aware that he is no longer trying to impress but he’s rather displaying his scorecards to Abians, nay Nigerians on the much he has been able to accomplish within the time frame and putting finishing touches on some projects as his tenure winds up in 2023.
Accordingly, three months down the line, Dr. Eze Chikamnayo has fashioned out the most appropriate way of reporting and showcasing the quantum achievements of the Abia State Governor. In doing this, he had first and foremost identified a sobriquet suitable enough for the kind of work Governor Ikpeazu is doing for the people of the State. Followed it up with what programmes his principal have accomplished since 2015 and subsequently came up with the most appropriate platform to propagate his most precious product.
For many, the sobriquet, the re-builder, among others names before it, most appropriately captures who the Governor is, what he is doing and how he goes about doing them.
In doing this, Dr. Chikamnayo explained that Governor Ikpeazu is “rebuilding Abia State for posterity in every sector; where he met broken roads, he has rebuilt them, where he met broken bridges he has rebuilt them, where he met a dysfunctional educational sector he is rebuilding them assiduously, where he met a disillusioned workforce, especially in our SME sector, our brothers and sisters in Aba, the artisans, the tailors, the shoe makers, he has not only rebuilt their confidence but he has helped them to rebuild their businesses and regained their market share not only in Nigeria, but also in the West African sub region and even the entire globe with hosting of trade fairs.”
Put differently, if we go by the dictionary definition of the word ‘rebuild,’ one can rightly say that a re-builder, who in this context is Governor Ikpeazu, is one who reconstructs, remodels, restores to a previous state as well as makes extensive repairs. Therefore, the chief strategist of the State, Eze Chikamnayo, is not far from the truth having identified what the governor has done and given him the name, most suitable for him.
So, having provided the nomenclature, the accomplishments and the route to go, it is expected that these next 365 days will witness massive campaign that will hit all social media platforms like Hurricane Catrina in such a deliberate and very distinct manner that everyone will not only hear but also see for themselves that Governor Ikpeazu has performed very well as the Governor of Abia State. Even the naysayers, themselves, will come to realize that seeing is believing and as such have no choice other than change their narrations.
One may wonder why it is important to do go with rebuilder365 at a time like this. The simple answer is that, Governor Ikpeazu has been a very silent achiever and much is not being said about his achievements.
Thus, what rebuilder365 will do is to change the negative narrative and reeducate Ndi Abia as well as give the Governor the name and accolades he has worked hard for and rightly deserves. This will be done by showcasing, displaying and exhibiting, every single day, for these three hundred and sixty five days, the best of Governor Ikpeazu’s accomplishments in the past six and half years.
What is more is to afford Abians and indeed all lovers of good thing to join rebuilder365 on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube; like, follow, watch, comment and share the good works of the re-builder of our time, the man who has vowed to leave Abia better than he met it.
