In an explosive interview on the online TV program ‘RED SEAT’ with Emenike Iroegbu, former Secretary to the Abia State Government (SSG), Dr. Eme Okoro, made shocking revelations about the failure of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s administration. Okoro, who played a pivotal role in the government before being removed, accused ‘fringe characters’ within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of hijacking governance and rendering the administration ineffective.

Speaking candidly, Okoro stated that while the PDP was founded on progressive ideals meant to serve the people, the infiltration of political misfits distorted its core vision. He lamented that these elements, who lacked governance capacity, manipulated the system, leading to widespread inefficiency and failure.

According to Eme Okoro, Governor Ikpeazu, himself a man of good intentions, started his tenure with a clear vision alongside key figures such as himself, former Deputy Governor Udo Oko Chukwu, and the late Chief Nwakodo. However, their efforts were quickly undermined by self-serving individuals who prioritized personal gain over public service.

‘We had dreams, we had a vision for Abia State. But as time went on, political opportunists infiltrated the system. They created divisions, distorted governance, and reduced government efficiency to a mere shadow of what it should have been,’ Okoro stated.

The former SSG admitted that despite his initial loyalty to the PDP, he could not ignore the party’s glaring shortcomings. He noted that political loyalty alone cannot substitute for good governance, emphasizing that the PDP government in Abia State ultimately failed the people due to internal sabotage.

‘PDP did not do well, even in the government I served. The agreement was that we would work for the good of our people, but it was sabotaged by individuals who had no real commitment to development,’ he added.

Okoro’s remarks have sparked fresh debates on the failures of Ikpeazu’s administration, with many seeing his revelations as a validation of long-held concerns about political mismanagement in Abia State. His statements also raise questions about the role of party politics in governance and how internal power struggles can derail progress.

With his blunt assessment, Eme Okoro has effectively reignited conversations about the true reasons behind the PDP’s decline in Abia State and the legacy of Ikpeazu’s tenure. Whether his claims will inspire reforms within the party or remain a cautionary tale is yet to be seen.
