We’re Not Talking About Building Personal Businesses, Ebonyi APC Chairman Tells Anyi Chuks
By Abah Joshua
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman of Ebonyi State, Chief Stanley Okoro Emegha said the the government of Francis Nwifuru is focused building the state and not personal businesses.
Emegha, who was reacting to statement credited to Ifeanyi Odi,PDP, through a statement signed by Moses Idika, the head of media of the 2023 governorship candidate of the party, Chief Chukwuma Odii,
The statement accused the government of wasting Ebonyi resources on the Airport by spending about N20bn to rehabilitate its runway.
The party chairman also dismissed the claim that the state government under governor Nwifuru has not created enabling environment to businesses to thrive, citing the governor’s support for the two private radio stations n Ebonyi State.
According to him, the PDP did not see two kilometers per autonomous community that is ongoing. They cannot see all these lengthy roads the man is doing. They cannot see the running of pipe borne water. They cannot see the revival of the pipe production companies. They cannot see that EBBC is swearing a good look. They are not seeing the houses springing at Camp David. They are not seeing the appointment of supervisors, management committee members, reduction of robbery.
He said, “We are not surprise, Anyi Chuks cannot say that the wife of the president visit to Ebonyi is a waste of fund. What is being at the centre of politics? Don’t you know that it is a plus if the president or the wife of the president visits a state. There is no way it will not attract a positive development.
“Talking about our airport, if he is not myopic, he should have known that in the aviation industry, cement technology runway does not go because the smoothness of cement technology can never be the same with asphalt and that is what the governor has done.
“The wife of the president landed there and said this is the best and the highest in the whole country. Who is Anyi Chuks to say it is a waste of fund? Since he feels he is a big man, he has private jet and flies to other states, why can’t he fly to our airport. Well, the Ebonyians want it and the governor knows the development it is going to bring to the state.
“We are talking about building the state, we are not talking about building your personal business. So why can’t you come and join, must it be you? Have they not seen more hotels springing up, has the governor not commissioned two private radio stations; Legacy FM and Glorious FM.
“Since he lost elections, he has not come to his senses. I have not seen the media report. When we see it, we will respond accordingly. He should leave the state alone.
“He should go and wait after 14 years if he has the capacity to contest again. Let him go and solve the problem in PDP and not to talk about rubbish things’, Stanley advised.
