The dreams  of Abians for swift, decisive turn-around in their socio-economic affairs may remain in the realm of expectations as  the proposed composition of Abia State Executive Council comprises  men who has been loitering in the corridors of power from the 200-2015 era of former governor Theodore Orji to the present era of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.

Equally, contrary to expectations that youths, women and technocrats would be invited to invigorate the new cabinet, these two vibrant sections of Abia's populace were only given marginal considerations, with only two women nominees and youths - those below 30 totally ignored

'Its the same lack-lustre, self-serving, yes-men of yesterday that is still being recycled'' says a commentator on the social media reacting to the list sent to the Abia State House of Assembly by Governor Ikpeazu
