FORMER SSG, RALPH EGBU RESIGNS FROM PDP, PITCHES TENT WITH LABOUR PARTY
A former Secretary to Abia State Government, Chief Ralph Egbu has dumbed the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and joined Governor Alex Otti in the Labour Party.
He had over the weekend resigned his membership of the PDP in a resignation letter dully signed by him and handed over to the Oza Ukwu ward chairman , in Ukwa West Local Government Area, Bidwell Nwankwo.
Speaking to the press on his reasons for dumping PDP for the Labour Party, Chief Egbu said that different factors influenced the move, including directives from his constituents and personal resolve to sustain, establish and promote good and effective governance wherever it is found around the country.
According to Chief Ralph Egbu, “Governor Alex Otti has in two years shown glimpses of very positive and effective governance culture,
“it behoves on any truly progressive minded person especially those either living or doing business in the state to line their support behind the Governor and the government he leads,
“alternative of not doing so would mean that revisionists, whose stock in trade is to reap huge gains from chaos would slip in to retard the wheels of progress. Neutrality or nonchalance helps the mediocre, while evil grows into monstrous dimension when good men stay and do nothing,” Chief Egbu stated.
The former SSG, who is a veteran journalist,
was equally a two -time Commissioner for Information and Chief Press Secretary to some Military Administrators in Abia State noted remarkable achievements made so far by the focussed administration of Governor Alex Otti.
“Governor Otti has recorded very meaningful achievements, I am thrilled by the fact that he chose to begin from basic challenges that rob people of having good life.
“Under the administration, democratic temperament has been expanded, while salaries are being paid as at when due, life restored to pensioners, sanitary conditions and waste management greatly improved, massive infrastructural turn around , employments as well as the airport and stadium projects going on.
“Everybody is a witness to the renovations in our schools and free and compulsory basic education, retrofitting of hospitals and the construction of Abia medica city that is about to be flagged among other numerous achievements of Governor Alex Otti, OFR.” Chief Egbu noted.
He further said that, the Governor does not claim to know everything or immune to mistakes, saying that once it is pointed out he would accept, correct it and move on. He added that his Asa people are very much appreciative of the good works of the Governor in Ukwa West.
“I am glad that the Governor has shown that Ukwa people would have a far more better deal in terms of development and representation under the present administration.
“We assure the Governor that Ukwa people would give him maximum support from now going forward, Chief Egbu asserted.
