I equally encourage all Abians to continue to give us all the support that we need in order to entrench this new paradigm that will take us from where we are to eldorado.

I also want to encourage security agencies to be neutral, protect everybody including the system itself. To a large extent, I applaud the security agencies; they have no favorable, they are what I call every government in power. I encourage them to remain neutral. I also encourage INEC to this time around, be fair to all manner of people, they should release materials and their officials on time, let everything that should be given to the parties be released on time so that the party can plan well.

Mind you this scarcity of cash could also be a blessing in disguise, let us not because of lack of cash do things that will be detrimental to the electioneering process.

Lets come together and elect fresh leadership at all level. I encourage you to do the needful, God is on our side, God bless Nigeria, God bless Abia state.
