Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has called on the family of late Madam Ihudiya Ochunkwo Agbagha to emulate her life of service and sacrifice for the good of others.
Speaking during a condolence visit to the family at Ugwuezi Abiriba in Ohafia local government area of Abia State, Governor Ikpeazu who was accompanied on the visit by top government officials stated that the life of late Madam Ihudiya is reflected in his son Chief James Ochunkwo Agbagha who served creditably as the former Chairman of Aba North local government area and prayed God to grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss of their matriarch who passed on at the age of 72.
“Mama lived a good life that is worthy of emulation and I want to use this opportunity to charge her children, especially my good friend Owo Blow, to ensure that her legacies live on with us by galvanizing other siblings to ensure continuous peace in the family she left behind. I implore the immediate and extended family of Mama Ihudiya to take solace in the fact that their mother lived a good life and you have my assurance that I will always stand by you.”
In his speech, Chief Agbagha Ochunkwo (Owo Blow) who described their late mum as a virtuous and influential woman who contributed a lot to making her children what they are today, thanked the Governor for finding time to visit the family as well as supporting the family at this trying moment.
Chief Ochunkwo also expressed the appreciation of the Abiriba community to the Governor for the completion of the phase one of Abiriba ring road which passed through his area and pleaded for the commencement of phase 2 to enable other Abiriba communities enjoy the dividends of the Caterpillar Revolution of the Ikpeazu administration.
Also speaking during the visit, the Leader of People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Abiriba Kingdom, Chief Mba Ukariwo, expressed appreciation to the Governor for the various projects executed by his administration at Abiriba and other communities in Ohafia local government and praised the good working relationship between him and his Deputy, Sir Ude Oko Chukwu, whom he described as “our leader and son of our daughter”.
Responding on the date for the commencement of phase 2 of the ring project, Abia State Commissioner for Information, Chief John Okiyi Kalu, stated that the Governor has approved further payments to the Contractor handling the project to enable immediate commencement of work at the Agboji end of the ring road which is expected to link the 3 wards of Abiriba and called on all sons and daughters of the community to support the government of Dr Okezie Ikpeazu who has demonstrated commitment to develop all parts of Abia State.

According to Chief Okiyi; “aside from the completion of phase one of Abiriba ring road, construction of Orie Akwa market and donation of a house to a widow at Abiriba, Governor Ikpeazu’s Caterpillar Revolution actually started at the areas of Aba where majority of Abiriba people reside. Our people literally own Ukaegbu road, Ehere road, Umuola road, Ovom road, Owerri road off Okigwe, Kamalu, Faulks etc. Aba is our second home and Governor Ikpeazu is by implication fixing our first and second homes in a manner that is historically unprecedented. In addition to all that, the Governor has shown great faith with our people by appointing many sons and daughters of Abiriba Kingdom into various positions in his government as well as executed Abiriba ring road phase 1 among the very first projects he embarked on.
“Our people historically recognize genuine friendship and kindness and it behoves on us to express our appreciation to Governor Ikpeazu through the ballot box in 2019 and I am confident we will stand shoulder to shoulder with Governor Ikpeazu when the time comes”
Other top government officials who were present include Chief Mandela Obasi, Honorable Thomas Nkoro, Barr Nnenna Obewu, Honorable John Eke, Chief Ifeanyi Isikaku, Chief Gabriel Elendu, Honorable Nnamdi Udueze, Elder (Pharm) Ifeanyi Agbai and many aides of the Governor.
