“Peter Obi should be ashamed of Labour Party’s performance in Abia” – PDP

The Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia, Abraham Amah, has declared that the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, should be ashamed of recent developments in the state.

Amah criticised the Labour Party-led government’s actions, particularly its handling of public servants and infrastructure projects.

Amah told Punch, “I am profoundly ashamed of what is happening in Abia State. If Abia State is a miniature of the governance Peter Obi promises for Nigeria, then it spells total failure.”

Amah also lamented the inadequate support for education, healthcare, energy, and security sectors, all of which he argued were critical for improving citizens’ welfare.

He said, “This is a government that came on board and suspended all the permanent secretaries, suspended everybody. One year later, they sacked them, without any public inquiry or anything, without giving anything to the public.

“So, what is the basis? Why do you think that tomorrow, those 15,000 workers who lost their jobs will want to vote for the Labour Party? Even Peter Obi should be ashamed of what is happening in Abia State.

“It’s very embarrassing; I am very ashamed of what is happening in Abia State, because if Abia State is a sample of the kind of government people expect Peter Obi to bring in Nigeria, then they are a total failure.”

Amah further stated, “So what is good about the government? This is a government that has already sacked about 15,000 workers, under the guise that they did not merit their jobs.

“They have done nothing to create jobs; they do nothing to support and improve businesses and the standard of living of the people, to improve the education sector, health sector, energy, security, and care for the vulnerable.”
