How Ikpeazu’s Proactiveness Saved Abia From COVID-19 Invasion — Ijiriji

Hon. Emmanuel Ndubuisi popularly known as Ijiriji has commended the Abia State governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu for his intervention in ensuring that the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic does not invade the state.

Ijiriji is the member representing Bende South Constituency, Abia State House of Assembly.

The lawmaker said the low number of confirmed cases in Abia State is a testimony that the governor’s proactiveness through lockdown, ban on interstate travels as well as the closure of markets and worship centres were fruitful in curbing the spread of the disease in the state.

In a chat with ABN TV on Monday, Hon. Ndubuisi also commended governor Ikpeazu for the provision of palliatives for the people of the State to cushion the effects of the lockdown, insisting that Abia would have been in daredevil trouble if not for the quick move made by the governor to save the people of the State from the pandemic.

While stating that he was among the first legislators to have provided food palliatives to families in Bende South, transport unions, artisans as well as cash disbursement to the less privileged in the constituency, he applauded local government chairmen for assisting the people during this period, including Nigerians in Diaspora, especially those from his Constituency for providing palliatives to the people.

Hon. Ndubuisi called on the people of Bende to rise up and embrace measures that will help in mitigating the economic effects of the post-COVID-19 era, especially through farming, saying his yam plantation is a measure he has adopted.
