The representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Smart Adeyemi has described the Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu as a drunkard.
Adeyemi who was responding to a social media post credited to Senate Minority Leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe, said Ikpeazu is a ‘champagne drinking man.’
“Despite that some governors are doing their best, we are lucky to have a governor who has taken the issue of security as a serious priority.
“We are bordered by nine states, but we had an experience of the unfortunate incidents that are happening in neighbouring states. Some governors are committed to the protection of their people. In my state, the governor awarded contracts for the renovation of schools and provides security services to them.
“In some states where we have highly intelligent people, highly educated people, very enterprising people, like Abia, they are governed by drunkards. The governor of Abia is a champagne drinking man. Abia people are impoverished more than ever before. Abia people are unfortunate.”
However, a shocked Abaribe asked Adeyemi to tender an apology to Ikpeazu.
He said: “Mr President, I will like to make a clarification. Unfortunately, what has happened here today is one of the problems that you see on social media. I never made any comment on the governor of Kogi State. Never.”
