Earlier today, I had the distinct honour of welcoming former President Olusegun Obasanjo to our beloved state. His insights and contributions to our discussions were invaluable, particularly his support for our infrastructural drive and governance reforms.
In our conversation, we reflected on the strides we have made in Abia, especially in Aba, the commercial nerve centre of not just our state but the entire South East. With 10 roads completed and 31 more underway, we are not just building paths—we are paving the way to a brighter future for all Abians.
The former President's commendation of our decision to end the pension law for past governors and deputies is a testament to our commitment to responsible leadership. This move is a significant step towards reducing the cost of governance and channelling our resources where they are needed most.
I am grateful for Chief Obasanjo's blunt and direct approach, which has always been a beacon of truth. His encouragement and acknowledgement of our efforts to bring an end to the 'rascality' of past policies will serve as a catalyst for other states to follow suit and set Nigeria on the wheel of progress.
We are inspired by his words and share his vision for a Nigeria where leadership is synonymous with stewardship. Together, we are setting a new standard for governance, one that prioritizes the welfare of every citizen above all else.
Thank you, Chief Obasanjo, for your unwavering support and for reminding us that the journey to greatness is paved with tenacity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to serve.
