I Will Work Very Hard Before Leaving Office In 2023 — Gov. Ikpeazu

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has pledged to work tirelessly until his term ends in 2023.

Ikpeazu stated that he would work so hard that it would be difficult for his successor to function.

The governor stated in the Aba area of the state that his successor will be able to function if “he is running on the same lane.”

When his term ends, the governor also promised to return to his three-bedroom flat in Aba.

The measure, according to Ikpeazu, will allow him to keep a watch on his successor.

He said: “I have spent time in my lodge in Aba, it is a three-bedroom apartment. I don’t know how many governors can reside in this kind of place.

“But I stay here because I want to keep my eyes on the fact that I’m the Governor today, but I will not be the Governor tomorrow.

“I won’t take myself too far away from how I live my life. I will work hard to the point that somebody coming after me will find it difficult to operate unless he is running on this same lane.”

Asked whether he will be running for the Senate in 2023, the Governor disclosed that he is faced with three options of returning to the classroom as a lecturer, learning how to make shoes as a student of the Aba Footwear Academy and listening to his people’s decision on his political future.
