GOOD GOVERNANCE

Good governance is not seen through propaganda because people will eventually know the truth. Though it may take long to be unmasked except when exposed earlier, it must surely be exposed. Under us, good governance will be felt and seen and not just be narrated by a people far from our environment using pictures. Under us, the responsible, ethical, and effective management of public affairs and resources will not be a secret affair. We’ll put that framework that ensures that corruption is minimised. There shall be strong respect for human rights, with transparency sitting at the top and base of every service from government offices to the private sector. All citizens, especially vulnerable groups, shall have a voice, and their voices will be heard. There shall be thorough implementation of fair legal frameworks, and that will ensure that government institutions are held responsible under my watch so that everyone can sit up as we build a new state with civilised ideologies. FOIA will be domesticated without delay here, as our policies will provide accessible information and timely service. We shall ensure the common good of all. Under our watch, Nigerians and Abians, we see the upholding of human rights and improvement in the overall quality of life.

ECONOMIC GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT

Nobody can spread prosperity in a state where there is economic stagnation and dwarfism. Our policies on industrialisation and huge supports for SMEs and startups will bring in a quantitative increase in Abia’s total production output and will equally ensure a qualitative process that encompasses broader improvements in living standards, social welfare, healthcare, and wealth distribution. We’ll not just focus on mere statements that are not felt or seen; we’ll ensure that the technological advancements that will come into the production of things we already have a comparative advantage over other parts of the country, the better infrastructure we shall put in place and a rapidly growing and busy labour force in our dear state will drive Abia’s journey to economic growth and development, which will in return share prosperity across.

UNITY AND INCLUSIVENESS

Nobody can deny the fact that when people feel a sense of belonging and acceptance, they are more likely to thrive, push and reach their full potential. Abia will build an inclusive society where we can foster creativity, innovation, and collaboration that will lead us to the creation of prosperity. We shall build a state where nobody is debased. A state where everyone has an equal opportunity to flourish, contribute meaningfully, and live authentically. We cannot just leave it to chance. We’ll ensure that it goes beyond acceptance or tolerance. We’ll legalise inclusiveness to eschew all forms of marginalisation. It shall not be an inclusion for a mere formality. It shall be holistic inclusion where everyone feels genuinely welcomed and valued regardless of their backgrounds.

SECURITY AND SAFETY

It is obvious that no serious country or state will reveal its security strategy to another, but let me be sincere to you, fellow Abians and Nigerians; under our watch, security and safety will encompass various elements, including risk management, policy development, compliance monitoring, and awareness. We’ll support and ensure that the existing federal security structure already established in our country works well in Abia without loopholes. Our security in Abia will be physical, technical and administrative. While the physical security protects our lives, properties and government infrastructure, technical security, which encompasses the mere use of digital tools, will equally be deployed. In administrative security, we shall take control of our environment from hamlets to the state capital with sound, modern policies, procedures, and practices that govern, implement, manage and enforce security and safety across Abia State. These three approaches will give us a resilient security and safety mechanism that is very impregnable and difficult to be simultaneously circumvented. With the support we’ll give the already existing federal security structure, it is achievable.
