Communique By Ukwa La Ngwa Council of Elders:

14th September, 2022.

In a well publicized and well attended meeting of Ukwa La Ngwa Council of Elders held today; Wednesday 14th September, 2022 at Ovu Nd’Eze in Aba-North Local Government Area of Abia State, the Council dispassionately discussed some critical issues that affect the Peoples of Old Aba Division, under the aegis of Ukwa La Ngwa Council of Elders and, thereafter, issued the following Communique;

(1) That Ukwa La Ngwa Council of Elders, otherwise referred to as  Council in this context, is satisfied with the overall performance of her Son, Brother and Governor of Abia State, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, Ph.D, in managing the affairs of the State, with particular emphasis on Peace, Security and Infrastructural Recovery of the State, especially in Aba that was abandoned for many years before his emergence as Governor and, therefore, very gladly passes a Vote of Absolute Confidence in him.

(2) That Council remains resolute that, in accordance with the tenets of Equity, Justice and Fairness, the Governor of Abia State in 2023 should be a worthy  eminent Indigene of Ukwa La Ngwa from Umunneato-Ngwa extraction in Abia-Central Senatorial District and has, based on maturity, experience, pedigree, competence, his TIGER Manifesto of Trade, Investment, Good Governance, Education and Rural Development, with emphasis on Participatory Governance that is anticipated to open a window of productive engagement of more than 80% of Abia Youths, Credibility and Competence, therefore, today Unanimously Adopted the Governorship Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the State, Professor Uche Eleazar Ikonne, as her Governorship Favourite for 2023 election,

(3) That Council, in her natural pursuit of Equity, Justice and Fairness, resolved that each of the Nine Local Government Areas of Ukwa La Ngwa shall have a Trustee in Ukwa La Ngwa Council of Elders,

(4) That Council suspends the former acting Leader of Ukwa La Ngwa Council of Elders, Dr Maxwell Nduaguibe, indefinitely for inexplicable and unacceptable failure to give account of money contributed and donated by Members and Well Wishers while he acted as Leader  and

(5) That the Council, hereby, set up a disciplinary committee to look into the allegations of financial impropriety and ant-association activities levelled against  former acting Leader, Dr Maxwell Nduaguibe and possibly recommend appropriate action(s) to be taken and

(6) That Council urges all Members of Ukwa La Ngwa Council of Elders and, indeed, all Abians of good conscience to continue to support Governor Okezie Victor Ikpeazu in his stride to keep Abia a very peaceful and safe State.
