* Ikpeazun 

Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has honoured his promise of ferrying Abians living in Lagos State back home for Christmas and New Year celebrations. They were transported back home at the expense of the government

President General of the Abia State Town Unions Association, Lagos, Prince Ejituru Ikenga during an interaction with journalists  at the State Liaison Office, Victoria Island, Lagos where the first batch took off sang praises of the governor, who he said is doing his best for Abians.

 Ejituru noted that with this gesture, several hundreds of Abians who never planned to come home this Christmas have now taken advantage of it to go come and spend time with their people at home.

The President General  further proffered that the gesture was also extended to other states of the South West like Oyo, Ondo, Ogun, etc. He urged Abians living outside the state to ensure that they identify with their Town Unions wherever they live as only those who are duly registered with their respective Town Unions were able to to take advantage of  Gov Ikpeazu's kind gesture.

He noted that Abians in Lagos follow closely the activities of the State Government and the projects being undertaken by the Ikpeazu administration and expressed confidence that Gov Ikpeazu means well for the people of Abia State and called for continued prayers and support for the government.

The free transport which started on Christmas Day saw hundreds of Abians living in Lagos taking  advantage of the gesture.

Mr Onyebuchi Ememanka, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor stated that there are measures to extend this gesture to other parts of the country like Abuja, Kano, Kaduna in subsequent Christmas holidays
