Building mortuaries is PDP’s highest investment in Abia – SDP

The Abia state chapter of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has expressed disappointment over the failure of Governor Okezie Ikpeazuled administration to attract direct foreign investment to cushion the effect of economic hardship being experienced by the people. The party regretted that the highest investment that could be seen in Abia today, was building of mortuaries by individuals. The SDP state chairman, Chidi Nwosu, explained that the Peoples Democratic Party-led government cannot boast of common hundred employment opportunities because of its draconian economic policies that are not investments-oriented. Also, the former Abia lawmaker criticized Governor Ikpeazu for junketing from one country to another in search of investors, when there are no infrastructures on ground, to drive investment in the state. “The PDP is not a political party that is investment-oriented. There is nothing for them to show on ground in Abia. No investment has been attracted by this government all this while to the state, that can boast of hundreds employment opportunities. “Every day, the governor junkets from one country to another in search of foreign investors, when you have not developed the talents you have. The governor, everyday is out of the state and the country looking for investors, when we don’t have good roads. No infrastructure in the state. “I can tell that the only investment moving in Abia state today, is building of mortuaries along express roads. You will see mortuaries every day. The PDP has subjected the people of Abia to death, because they inflicted poverty and hunger on the people. “Count from Umuahia to Aba, how many mortuaries are there. Mortuaries are sited everywhere in the state. People are dying,” he added noting that come 2019, the PDP will no longer exist in Abia because of it misrule.
