APC Made Southeast Projects Possible – Ex-Abia Commissioner, Oriaku

Former Abia State Commissioner for Finance and the Commissioner representing Abia in the Federal Character Commission, FCC, Hon. Obinna Oriaku, has credited the All Progressives Congress (APC) for spearheading major infrastructural projects across Abia and the Southeast.

Speaking on Issues and Views, a current affairs programme on Enyimba FM Aba on Monday, Oriaku listed the rehabilitation of Port Harcourt Road Aba, reopening of Ikot Ekpene–Aba Road after 20 years, and the establishment of the Federal Polytechnic at Ngodo, Umunneochi, as key interventions made possible through APC-led administrations.

According to him, the Cancer and Urology centre at FMC Umuahia and federal roads linking Umuahia–Bende–Ohafia, Onu Imo–Umuahia, and Umueka–Owerrinta also came through federal initiatives.

“These are federal projects executed with the express approval of Mr. President. Even when states double into them, they are reimbursed. Credit must go to the APC government for making this possible,” Oriaku said.

He further praised Senator Dave Umahi’s leadership as Minister of Works, noting that Southeast states now enjoy smoother approvals for federal road projects.
