Abia 2019: APC chieftain, Meregini berates PDP govt, says party exhibiting recklessness

Austin Okezie-Meregini, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress(APC), has berated the present Peoples Democratic Party-government in Abia state, for allegedly claiming responsibility for most federal-sponsored projects in the state.

Meregini regretted the infrastructure deficits in the state, and recklessness in governance, which he claimed, was orchestrated by the 20 years of PDP misrule in Abia.

The APC chieftain, spoke in an interview with journalists, on Wednesday in Umuahia, explaining that Abia was one of highest earner in terms of federal allocation and lamented that the state was currently, the least developed state in the Southeast region.

Meregini, who is also the APC House of Assembly candidate for Umuahia East constituency seat, canvassed support for President Muhammadu Buhari and the party’s governorship candidate in Abia, Uchechukwu Ogah, in the forthcoming general elections.

He asserted that the people of Abia state would deliver over 90 per cent votes for Buhari reelection in the upcoming February presidential poll.

Meregini said the APC-led federal government had done well in the provision of infrastructural amenities particularly in Abia, urging the people of the state, to massively vote in the President in order to sustain the federal infrastructures being seen in the state.

According to him, “APC currently in Abia is now a household name. APC is dominating the state. Definitely, Abians are going to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari.

“In 2015, the whole of Abia gave Buhari less than 20,000 votes. But now, by the end of the Feb. 16 Presidential Election, President Buhari is going to secure more than 500,000 votes in Abia.

“If you ask anybody in Abia, we have felt an appreciable presence of the President Buhari-led Federal Government; the school feeding programme and a whole lot of federal projects going on in the state.”
