Sometime around 24th – 25th May 2018, the online media was awash with news of a rapist who was said to have invaded Ovim Girls’ Methodist secondary school dormitory, inflicted injuries on students in an attempt to steal their belongings and probably tried raping without success.
The news traveled with the speed of light, wailers howled to the high heavens and coursed the dead to be tortured in their graves. But in their wailing they forgot that God can use an ugly situation to bring about something beautiful and profitable for those little ones.
Now, having followed the aftermath of that attack at the Methodist Girls Model Secondary School Ovim in Isuikwuato Local Government Area by a hoodlum, the salient questions are;
1. Could it be said the attack was a blessing in disguise?
2. Ordinarily, could the Governor have had an urgent need to visit the Methodist Girls Model Secondary School Ovim had such an incident not occurred?
Answers for the above questions are found in the Governor’s words during his visit at the school;
“This seeming sad event has brought me face to face with some of your challenges” – Governor Ikpeazu.
Following the incident, the education friendly Governor of Abia State, Okezie Victor Ikpeazu, Ph.D visited the school along side his wife, Mrs. Nkechi Ikpeazu. The Governor’s visit put smiles on the faces of both the management and students of the school. This is because the Governor promised that his would provide a 50 KVA generator to them and install street lights within the school premises to improve the security of the entire premises. With this in place, the safety of the students would be more guaranteed.
It is good for highly placed individuals to, always, support government in intervening in matters of urgent important like this invasion of Ovim Girls’ school premises. Hence, Emeka Ikwuagwu deserves to be commended for standing in to support the State government by intervening and being the first person to report the incident to government as well as went ahead to provide succor by renovating an old abandoned hostel of the school. He did that for the school in support of the Governor’s donations to the school. No wonder the Governor commended him for that intervention during his visit to the school.
This singular action of Ikwuagwu Emeka George is an example of what is expected by all well-meaning Abians who want progress and development of the State. All Abia politicians are expected to toe the line of Emeka Ikwuagwu and stop playing politics of bitterness and rancor. It is high time Abia people learnt how to corporate and collaborate with governmental authorities to achieve success.
The need for Abians to rally round the Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu cannot be over-emphasized, especially as it has become obvious that the Governor sees all Abians and institutions in Abia as one. Let us eschew bitterness and work together to return Ikpeazu in 2019 and retain these monumental achievements and development.
SUPPORT A GOVERNOR AT WORK!
