We have written articles in the past concerning the corruption and mismanagement going on in Abia state. Governor Ikpeazu of Abia state in Nigeria is the worst governor in the whole of the southeast. As his name implies “the last or behind”, governor Ikpeazu is behind in every aspect of governance in Abia state. Our point is that Governor Ikpeazu has refused completely to pay workers’ salaries and pensioners’ allowances in his state for years, but he comfortably collects his own salary at the end of every month. This is unacceptable. The worst aspect of it is that he won his political party’s senatorial ticket through manipulation, as alleged. This means that if he wins the senatorial election in 2023, he will be representing his constituency in the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We ask, how can any reasonable political party in Nigeria give a senatorial ticket to this unqualified governor, Mr. Ikpeazu, to represent his people, assuming he wins the senatorial election? As a governor of his state, he is unable to pay workers’ salaries and pensioners’ allowances, despite the internally generated revenues of his state and the federal allocations he receives on a monthly basis. The people of Abia state in Nigeria have been so unlucky in electing incompetent leaders to manage the resources of their state. Ex-governor Orji Uzor Kalu came and could not do much, Theodore Orji the same and now Governor Ikpeazu is there and has become the worst. These are very corrupt leaders, who have nothing good to offer the people of their state but stealing and mismanagement of public funds, which is sad.
