Prince Innocent Eleogu 


As waves of fear and uncertainty sweep across the Nation, Abia-born businessman and philanthropist Prince Innocent lroabuchi Eleogu on Friday charged Abians to persevere assuring  that the situations  are temporary. 


"Tough times never last, but tough people do. You and I are not new to situations like this, having travelled this route in the past. I assure you with the comfort of the Scripture that weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning (Psalm 30:5)", he stated on the message he shared on his Facebook wall and addressed to his immediate community, Ikwuano LG in particular and Abians in general.


Even as Nigerians engage the Federal Government in the "EndBadGovernanceProtest", Prince Eleogu reassured Abians that the State is in good hands in the Alex Otti-led administration 


"I am certain that the great infrastructural transformations and human development we are seeing in many parts of the State will cascade down to our dear local government area, clans, villages and  families. We are working to ensure this is done", he declared.


The business tycoon who urged Ndi Ikwuano to passionately support and pray for Abia State Governor Alex Otti Nde Ikwuano, argued that the governor cannot do it alone without their active and dedicated support and encouragement.


"Our dynamic Governor, His Excellency, Dr Alex Chioma Otti is working indefatigably to ameliorate the situation and by extension, change the overall narrative of our dear state, I passionately call on you not to yield to the temptation of embarking on any measure or take any step that can frustrate these noble efforts. These efforts are borne out of his burning desire to ensure that Abia State is ranked among the league of best and viable states by all indices in the comity of States. 


"This desire represent the mandate we have collectively given to him through our votes. It represents the aspirations of the great people of Abia state in particular and Igbo nation at large" 


Concluding, the business tycoon prayed for Abians, saying "...May God continue to bless us  all as we strive  from our respective little corners to achieve the Abia State of our dream".
