As the people of Nigeria and indeed Abia, God’s Own State continue to face difficulties as a result of the restriction of movements imposed on the state to checkmate the spread of coronavirus, the state governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has expressed sympathy for the people, saying he is touched by their plights.
The Governor in a release he personally signed on Thursday said these are tough times, adding that it pains him to see people idle at home even when they depend on their daily income. “But we shall overcome” he said.
“It pains me to see our people sit at home and do no work, especially for the millions of our people whose livelihoods depend on daily work and activities.
“Government is losing money too because revenue can only be generated when economic activities are on.

“But being alive is far greater than any other consideration” he added.
The Governor while also stating that the state has had its fair share of the impact of the deadly COVID-19 appealed to citizens to bear with the government as it makes efforts to curb COVID-19, maintaining that ‘Ndu kariri ihe eji azu ya’.
“Besides, Abia is not an island. We are a part of the global community battling with this pandemic.
“I renew my appeal to all our citizens to take this situation very seriously. Please stay at home and observe all the protocols as enunciated by the relevant authorities.
“As a government, we shall continue to do our very best to provide support for our people.
“Together, we shall see each other on the other side of this challenge.
“God bless you all and may God bless Abia State” he concluded.
