Abia state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has blasted Senator Smart Adeyemi who during the plenary of the Senate on Tuesday, February 23, described him as a “drunkard”.

The Kogi senator who contributed to a motion on Safe School Initiative in Nigeria alleged that while Abia state is governed by ''durnkards'' and a “champagne drinking man”, some Governors are working hard to make the lives of residents of their states better. Adeyemi seemingly said this in response to a social media post allegedly linked to Abia-born Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, which cast aspersion on Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state.

Reacting to Adeyemi's comment, Governor Ikpeazu in a statement released, said if Senator Adeyemi was of sound mind, he should have known that when it comes to education, Abia is miles ahead of his home state of Kogi. According to Governor Ikpeazu, Abia state is not just ahead of Kogi in education but in every single area of development.”

A statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka, reads:

“If Senator Adeyemi had his faculties intact, he should have known that under the watch of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia State has maintained first position in WAEC Examinations in the entire country for five years now. Kogi has not come close to the first 20. Never!”

Ever since Dr. Ikpeazu became Governor in Abia State, there hasn’t been one single case of attack on any school anywhere in Abia State.

Senator Smart Adeyemi is clearly non-compos mentis. If not, he would have known that while his State is still awarding contracts for the renovation of schools, Abia had long completed more than 500 classroom projects scattered across schools in Abia State, and still counting.

It is obvious that Senator Adeyemi is battling with acute dementia and has lost every of his instincts as a journalist. If not, he would have known that just last week, the National Bureau of Statistics adjudged Abia State as No. 3 on the list of States that attracted foreign direct investments, with only Lagos and Abuja ahead of Abia State in the entire country."
