Unidentified hoodlums have destroyed electronic billboards installed by the Abia State governor, Okezie Ikpeazu to ‘beautify Aba’, the commercial city of the state.
The LED billboards which were installed few days along Aba Owerri Road Aba, displayed the achievement of Gov Ikpeazu and his promise of completing the first ever flyover in Aba, the Osisioma flyover.
Reacting to the destruction of the billboards, the deputy chairman of Bende Local Government, Hon. Promise Uzoma Okoro, described the acts as “barbaric and pure display of wickedness.”
“This is barbaric and pure display of wickedness”, Hon. Okoro wrote on his social media account.
According to him, residents of Aba are fast to compare the state to other states and when the state government do something good, the people will be the first destroy it.
He said, “We compare our state Abia to other states but whenever the Government makes a positive improvement, someone whose heart has been sold will be used to destroy it.
“This is condemnable and those behind it should know they are tools being used to drag the state backward.
“You are not doing Ikpeazu if you destroy Amy Government property and establishment.”
