The academia maintained that his age and what he stands for, is about integrity, giving a lease of life to all Abians, stressing that he is coming with huge ideas on how to take Abia to the next level of development.

On his plans for Abia and Abians in general, Prof. Ikonne, said he has developed a dictum, “Participatory Governance”, which will ensure that all Abians are carried along in the governance of the State, saying governance is not for few individuals to decide what happens in a State.

He said the participatory governance will be driven in the hinterlands by community development agencies as it will also make use of opinion leaders among others, to run an all inclusive government, adding that the idea is to avoid political apathy.

Prof. Ikonne who spoke on a wide spectrum of issues, added that Abia can’t be primitive after he has become the Governor as he will place the state on global map just as he informed that he has entered into negotiations with individuals leading key companies to extend such to Abia State.

On plans for Abia youths, Prof. Ikonne hinted that he has already decided that if he emerges Governor, 40 percent of his exco will be reserved for the youth promising to send them for leadership capacity building abroad to acquire experience in leadership.

He also stated that if elected Governor, he will develop an ICT centre, bring in people to train Abians while youths will be given opportunities in the ICT centre after passing their tests.

Prof. Ikonne revealed plans to rebuild a new Ariaria of International standard, insisting that some of the equipment have been destroyed due to excessive flooding and the soil composition of Aba.

He further revealed his plans for Aba pointing out that he will revive moribund companies, come up with Aba Development Commission which will have it’s own power of transportation to generate revenue, collect taxes among others, adding that Aba is critical to the development of Ala Igbo.

The academia also revealed plans to set up recreational centres, come up with robust activity for the youth, offset arrears of pensions cum backlog of workers and teachers salaries just as he stated that he will unify all Abians if elected.

In his vote of thanks, the Chairman Abia Media Online Practitioners, Chief Paddy Anyatonwu, appreciated the erudite Prof. for reeling out his plans for Abia and Abians in general.
