Speaking during the Labour Party State Working Committee’s project inspection tour in Umunneochi LGA, Abia State yesterday, Dr. Chukwu said the Governor’s reforms have entrenched due-process culture in public service, giving local governments the capacity to execute impactful projects that directly improve livelihoods. He noted that visible progress in Umunneochi, especially in infrastructure, security and social programmes, reflects the success of structured governance and responsible resource management.
Abia Labour Party (LP) Chairman, Sir Emma Nwaeze Otti, also commended the Governor for restoring public trust through transparent leadership and people-first policies. He urged residents to sustain their support for the administration, stressing that Umunneochi’s ongoing development is proof of purposeful leadership. He later inaugurated the interim LP Executives for the LGA and encouraged grassroots mobilisation to strengthen ongoing reforms.
