Hon Chijioke Chukwu
Minority Leader of Abia State House of Assembly and member representing Bende North Constituency, Hon. Chijioke Chukwu has applauded the federal government for what he described as special attention to Abia in the area of erosion control and road.
This is even as he berated the ruling PDP in the state for accusing the FG of sabotaging its infrastructural development programmes.
Speaking with ABN TV on Thursday in Umuahia, the lawmaker said inability of the state government to manage interventions from the federal government is responsible for the blame game.
He said the federal representatives from Abia North have done more in road construction than the state government, insisting that it is a product of FG’s intervention.
He applauded Senator representing Abia North, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Hon. Nkeiru Onyejeocha representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi federal constituency, Hon. Benjamin Kalu representing Bende Federal Constituency for their giant steps in roads, erosion control and infrastructure in their respective domains, saying it is indication of the special attention FG has given to Abia.
The lawmaker stressed that the APC-led federal government has not sabotaged the state government in any way as being alleged by the state.
He said states like Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Bayelsa receive their reimbursement after renovating federal roads, saying the poor standard of work being done by Abia government on federal roads may be the reason it is not being reimbursed, insisting that the federal government is not a father Christmas who does not know quality work.
