In a written address read by the secretary of the association, Chief Nkemjika Ibenji, on behalf of the members of the association at thier general meeting held at the Recreation Club in Aba, the Landlords association praised the Governor for his giant strides in the state.
“We are by this gathering moved to solidly, totally, unshakably and whole heatedly support you in your second term bid. You are our Governor come 2019, we adopt you as our sole candidate.
“We want to say thank you for the numerous road projects you have delivered and those you are doing in the state, particularly in Aba.”
Responding, Governor Ikpeazu thanked them for their support since 2015, and promised that he will continue to work hard in order not to disappoint those who support and believe in his government.
“I must thank you for your support to our government since 2015. Nobody can do without landlords, so I thank you for your unalloyed support. Like I said, my promise is that I won’t disappoint or fail you. I hold your mandate as Governor with so much regard.
“Let me use this opportunity to say that we are not where we plan to be, but we have made huge progress. I promised you in 2015 that we will do roads that will outlive the life of our administration, that is why we adopted the rigid pavement (cement) technology with drainage on both sides to ensure quality and longevity of the roads. This government will continually uphold quality and we solicit your support.”
