Asked about his loss of the election for the Abia State South senatorial seat, Ikpeazu said, “Yes in elections, you win some and you lose some. It is service and if somehow the opportunity fails to come to you, you thank God for the ones you won. I cannot spill blood for politics. I am a happy man and now focused on the 11th March governorship election.”NYSC Portal
The governor acknowledged that the effect of the Peter Obi candidacy affected most of the results from the South East and said it was important to focus on the governorship election coming up in about 10 days’ time. He said the Igbo would “take stock of the Obi wave and its socio-political impact.”
He said, “Tell our detractors that Dr Ikpeazu has won two gubernatorial elections in Abia and by God’s grace defeated COVID-19. He can count his blessings. In eight years as a governor, he restored peace and security, built four bridges and 200 roads; built a pediatric hospital, 700 classroom blocks, four model schools, and gave overseas scholarships to 51 Abians among other things, all in eight years. That is to show that he came to serve without bitterness and attention to naysayers. Ikpeazu has promised to finish the new Government House, Umuahia, finish the new modern diagnostic lab in Isuikwuato, and a mega-hospital in Aba. I can count my blessings. Let all men count theirs. It’s not how long but how well.”JAMB Result
