A Orji whose empowerment programs was eloquent and impressive to Abians during his tenure.

“I have been your ardent follower and supporter, through my weekly and monthly publication on print media, radio stations, and online media, sponsoring promotion of your government programs and policies, defending the defenseless even when your present Commissioner for information, Eze Chikamnayo and Don Obinna Norman, attacked you and I on Facebook, alleging that you used the Youths Empowerment Programs to siphon billions, and divert funds meant for Youths Empowerment, the records are on Facebook, Abians saw how I defended you, and how I made them understand that, you are yet to implement the Youths Empowerment In Agricultural Program, I was called many derogatory names and accused wrongfully, because of my love for you, Abians and humanity.

“Your Excellency Sir, I urge you to find a place in your heart, to forgive me and Abians in any way we mistakenly went wrong against you sir, please appoint whomever you like and implement the Youths Empowerment in Agricultural Program because it has become evidently clear that you are bearing unknown personal grudges against me. Sir, for the sake of Abians who thought you have released and diverted the funds following the false alarm from the Commissioner of Information, Eze Chikamnayo and Don Obinna Norman, please kindly treat me and Abia unemployed citizens like you love and sacrifice for your own sons.

“As I put down this open letter Sir, I have left the State for you to Abuja, and I use this medium to let the world know that, should anything happen to me and my innocent family, you and yours will be held accountable and responsible because I was only trying to serve you and Abia State with my sincere strength but you have proved, that you don’t mean well for me and the majority of Abia Youths based on your body language against what Ebonyi State Governor, Imo State Governor, Akwa Ibom State Governor, Anambra State Governor, and Enugu State Governors did, specifically to their unemployed Youths to create jobs through Agricultural Empowerment and boost the economy of their people and their State IGR from food production.”
