Ikpeazu who commended the Forum for going about their agitation peacefully noted that they need to also be realistic in their expectations owing to the prevailing national economic situation.<\/p>\n

Governor Ikpeazu who believes that granting autonomy would help in strengthening democracy in the country pledged to direct authorities on the implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will be directing the relevant authorities to work out modalities for the implementation even though these are not easy times for the country in terms of the uncertainties surrounding government incomes all over the country, hence, I disagree with the assertion that Governors were frustrating the move for financial independence of the Judiciary.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me also use this opportunity to reiterate my commitment to the financial autonomy of the Abia State legislature.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that such autonomies will further strengthen our democracy, and we will do everything to realise them,\u201d the governor added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
