As Abia State celebrates its 32nd anniversary, the state deputy governorship candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the 2023 elections, Chief Chima Anyaso, has felicitated his fellow Abia people, urging them to join hands to develop the state.

In a goodwill message made available to journalists in Umuahia, Anyaso, who is also a businessman, expressed delight that after many years of wobbling and fumbling, the Abia people have finally chosen the path of growth.

According to him, “Over the years, the individual exploits and success of Abia indigenes around the world have proven that the talent, skills, and courage to build a prosperous Abia State abound in our people.

“As we celebrate this milestone-32nd anniversary, must take stock of our achievements as a state and identify areas where we need to improve.”

The YPP chieftain noted that “Abia State has come a long way; forging its own destiny, rising from the ashes to a dawn of a new hope, and retaining its pride of place in the comity of states.”

He stated that it was not just enough to celebrate the milestones attained by the state, saying deliberate efforts should be made by the Abia people to make their state great.

Anyaso insisted that it is only the efforts of the Abia people that could lead to the development of the state, adding that just as prayers cannot replace hard work, celebrating the state would make no sense “without first fulfilling our responsibilities.

“Let us strive to be more deliberate with our demands from political leadership; let us be more deliberate with our contributions toward the development of our dear state, and let us be our brother’s keeper.”
