Kelechi Anosike, has vowed to attract investments to reduce the high cost of living in Boniface in Umuahia The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State, Dr.
Anosike, who described Abia as the most expensive state to live in, blamed the situation on a lack of investments in agriculture by the current administration.
The PDP governorship candidate who stated this when he received a delegation of old students of his alma mater, Comprehensive Secondary School, Okoko Item, Bende Local Government Area, in his office in Umuahia, who paid him a solidarity visit, pledged that his administration would prioritise agriculture to reduce cost of living in the state.
Anosike, who emphasised that his administration would invest massively in agriculture and ‘stomach infrastructure’, said it was unacceptable that Abia State, with its arable land, would depend on food items from neighbouring states to feed its populace. He noted that the situation which is responsible for the high cost of living in Abia State has persisted because farmers in the state have received little or no encouragement from the current administration. “Abia remains one of the most expensive states to live in because the government has done little or nothing in agriculture. Daily, heavy trailers bring goods from other states to Abia State even though we have fertile land,” he said.
