Governor on godfatherism: My predecessors know where to draw the line

The Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has said there is no godfatherism in the state as opined in some quarters.
The governor said his predecessors know where to draw the line.
Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Governor Ikpeazu also said he would not engage in blame games with his predecessors, Dr. Orji Uzo Kalu and Senator Theodore Orji, with regards to the challenges in the state, but assured that he would rather do what he can for Abia State.
He told newsmen: “There is no god fatherism in Abia State.
“I do my job.
“There is one governor and my predecessors know where to draw the line.
“Abia, like every other state, had problems.
“And I do not think that the proper thing for me to do is to begin to dwell on what happened during Orji Uzor Kalu’s regime or that of Senator Theodore Orji.
“My concern should be what can I do.
“It would be foolhardy on my part to spend the last two years talking about what my predecessor did or did not do.
“My concern is what is happening to Abia State, a state that God has put under my charge, under this circumstance.
“My record of performance, just like every other persons record, is in the public domain and history and posterity will judge and rate each and every one of us.
“I won’t like to appoint myself a judge over anybody.
“Would you believe that since inception, even with those who claimed that they have done this and that for Abia, no single flyover is in Abia except the one we are doing now.
“And the people are excited that somebody can take up that kind of project in an economy that is undergoing recession.”
