Abia Freedom Alliance (AFA), an association of concerned Abia technocrats, professionals, businessmen and religious leaders, yesterday, said the state has stagnated and regressed for 23 years under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government.

To reverse the situation, AFA in a communiqué after its third quarterly meeting in Umuahia, the state capital, maintained that the state needed someone equipped with the necessary socio-economic and leadership skills, training and intellect to drive its growth and development in 2023 and beyond.

Among other challenges, the group condemned insecurity, exacerbated by killings, rape, arson and kidnappings for ransom of innocent citizens of the state and security agents, which it said, were often blamed on unknown gunmen and urged the perpetrators to stop their dastardly acts. It, however, cautioned Abia youths to be law abiding and refrain from acts that could put them at loggerheads with the security agencies and condemned the abuse of hard substances, especially Methamphetamine or Mkpuru Mmiri.

AFA queried outstanding salary arrears, pensions and non-payment of workers’ salaries as and when due adding: “Despite the various grants and Paris Club Refund running into billions of Naira the state received from the Federal Government, meant for such and other development projects in the state, the state government failed to deliver the goods.”
