Abia Restoration Movement beckons on Ikoh to vie for Governorship come 2027

A former Law Maker in Abia State and former Minority leader in the Abia State House of Assembly Hon. Prince Ikedi Ezekwesiri has denied the report that a serving governor in the South East is sponsoring the former Minister of Science and Technology Chief Henry Ikoh to vie for the number one position in Abia State come 2027.

Ezekwesiri who is the Coordinator, Abia Restoration Movement Harmony 2027, made this known while interacting with newsmen in Umuahia and posited that the former Minister has made his ambition known way back 1999.

He extolled what he called the native patriotism of the former Minister, Henry Ikoh whom he described as someone who has the pedigree to inclusive governance in Abia as he noted that Chief Henry Ikoh is humble, humane, and feels the pulse of people.

The former Law Maker insisted that Ikoh is someone who knows how to develop boys to men having done well in his private life.

According to him, Abians should see the need to listen to the appeal and join hands with the movement for the restoration of Abia State. He maintained that 184 persons from the electoral wards had endorsed the movement and urged others to cue in.

He maintained that Chief Ikoh has the capacity to bridge the wide gap that he said exists between the people and the leadership in the state as he described the people as the real owners of government hence the need for them to be restored back to power to equitably enjoy the fruits of their land.

Prince Ezekwesiri, noted that after a careful due diligence on eminent Abia sons and daughters both at home and in the diaspora, who are qualified to lead Abia State, the former minister of State for Science and Technology Chief Henry Ikoh ticks all the boxes and is the most suitable for the job of a Governor of Abia come 2027.

ABIA RESTORATION MOVEMENT (HARMONY, 2027) IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ALL ABIANS

2027 Abia Governorship Election: Abia Restoration Movement Beckons Chief Henry Ikoh

After a careful due diligence on eminent Abia sons and daughters both at home and in the diaspora, who are qualified to lead Abia State , we wish to appeal to our dear son and the former minister of State for Science and Technology to please consider and run as the Governorship candidate of Abia state come 2027.

This call is coming on the heel of his qualifications and. many years of cognate field experiences as an administrator, business manager and human capital developer and sagacious politician.

For the benefit of the hindsight, Chief ‘tkoh is an outstanding industrialist whose group of companies, ranging from Foam making to hospitality have touched, immensely, the lives of Abians and has overtime added to the GDP of the state.

Essentially, as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Henry Ikechukwu Ikoh proved his mettle and was highly recommended for his innovative leadership and ingenious approach to the management of human and material resources.

A ‘widely acknowledged philanthropist, Chief Ikoh (Ozurumba) is at home with his people and could be directly and indirectly linked with the accomplishments of most successful Igbos across the globe.

Ikoh prides as a quintessential pacesetter in grass root politics, hence he is a champion of restorative politics, not just in Abia State but across the entire South East. No wonder he has the appendages of Ozurumba, Ukwa ruo Oge ya odaa and many other Chieftaincy titles. He is a man that has deep connection with his people and that is evident in the number of industries he sits within his community and around Abia State.

We are confident that Ozurumba wil bridge the wide gap that exists between our people and the leadership of.gur state. As such, the people, who are the real owners of the government will be restored to power to equitably enjoy the fruits of their land. That applies also to the stakeholders who are sidelined and dumped for estranged ‘billionaires’ whose only claim to patriotism is rooted in their wanton disregard to the dignity of our people who have laboured assiduously to the growth of the state.

With a personality like Chief Henry Ikoh, a pragmatic business man and entrepreneur, who understands the importance of division of labour, the tenets of true democracy will be restored, thus separation of power between the three arms of government will be a given.

Ikoh has the character; resilience and humility to lead ndi Abia to the Promised Land .His Industry experience-and versed exposure is a veritable advantage. Coupled with his utmost sense of humanity, the eroded confidence of an average Abian shail be restored.

We therefore plead with Chief Henry Ikechukwu Ikoh (Ozurumba) to please hearken to our request and answer the Clarion call to come lead ndi Abia as the Governor come 2027.
