You inspire hope in Nigeria youths– Abia Gov tells Bello ….. as Gov Bello calls for dialogue to resolve differences, grudges

In what appeared to be a general consensus, Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has joined others in describing Governor Yahaya Bello as a leader with courageous standpoint. ‘You are a leader with the enviable record of breaking the ceiling, you inspire hope in the hearts and kinds of Nigerian youths’.
Gov. Ikpeazu gave this verdict on Friday when he received Governor Bello in a courtesy visit at the state capital in Umuahia.
He said “from 2016 till date, I have watched you keenly and the unmatched strategies you have deployed to ensure Kogi state is sufficiently safe so as to drive your economic agenda. Although the issue of security is abstract, it is central to all other activities and now that Kogi is safe, I am sure the state will join the leagues of economically advanced states”
“you are leading a paradigm shift and I admire the kind of energy I see in your cabinet. You inspire hope in the young ones and knowing fully well that this country belongs to them, you have shown that if we give equal opportunity to the young ones, they are capable of occupying very strategic leadership positions, driving policies and programs across every state for the betterment of our nation”
Gov.Ikpeazu also saluted the visiting Governor’s position to galvanize the nation while he also associated himself with the view of a one indivisible Nigeria being the only country we have reiterated that the idea of “Canaan land” was a gradual process.
Added that it was God’s intention of bringing us together as a nation to lead Africa and such a mission remains impossible without a united front.
The Governor frowned at the ugly trend of ethnic profiling, stating that crimes exist independent of tribal affiliations. The rascality of a few should not be greeted on a whole. The Igbo nation he reiterated is firmly committed to one Nigeria, and everywhere in Nigeria is home to them.
He added that misunderstandings in some segments cannot be avoided but with patience and tolerance, mutual understanding would be enhanced across all divides. The unity of this country lies in the stoic responsibility of those who have benefited from the country in time past and must ensure its stability for the generations coming after.
