Good initiative.
This is the kind of projects that shoulders be carried out in the Southeast.
Yet again, each time I hear a news like this,I feel so sorry for Abia state.
It's just a shame to see a state so full of potentials like Abia get ruined by successive bad governments.

IMO is in a safe hand. chukwu mere ihediohanma n'imo state.... imo, must overtake IMO wu nke anyi. we are incharge

Congratulations to Imo State for electing a leader who is working for the interest of the Imolites. We are grateful sir and are solidily behind you.

Our ancestors are happy with you and the God of heaven has chosen you.

Any contrary opinion will receive a slap from our ancestors soon.
