A
chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State, Mr.
Chukwudi Apugo, has condemned remarks credited to the All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA), which alleged that Governor Theodore Orji has
abandoned road projects in Aba.
Speaking with reporters in Umuahia, the state capital, Apugo accused APGA of inciting Aba residents against Orji.
He said the APGA leadership has “a myopic view of Orji’s developmental efforts in Aba and the entire state.”
Apugo
said: “Orji won the election in 2007 and was reelected in 2011. If APGA
thinks he is not performing, it should wait till 2015 when another
governor will take over and judge him thereafter.”
He
said Orji has endeared himself to Abians through his “numerous
achievements”, particularly in Aba, which he said has always taken the
largest share of the state’s budget.
Apugo
named some of the government’s projects in Aba as: the ongoing
rehabilitation of the Ukwu-Mango Road, the reconstruction of the
Aba/Owerri Road, the building of a pedestrian bridge at Abia Polytechnic
junction on the Aba/Owerri Road and the distilling of Aba Main Water
Channel, among others.
