  2. If you have seen helicopters taxi you will understand what they mean. Helicopters don't taxi like planes; they remain in the air but follow the taxi route to the hanger

    My great Abians, as u go out tomorrow to choose the next governor of Abia state, please remember that what made Abia state the worst governed state that it is now was our failure to vote based on d merits of politicians. We voted based on reasons like monetary gift, place of origin etc. Now is d time not to collect money & vote wisely b/c a politician with good visions for his people doesnt need to buy their votes. Every kobo u collect from them, u must repay to them one way or the other if u ever allow them to win.
    The Labour party candidate, Chief Emeka Oti Mba has the blue-print of a new Abia state that has set the other party candidates in serious panic.
    The Labour party is the party for every Abian that wants to have a say in the governing of Abia state irrespective of whether he is rich or poor, educated or not.
    10km roads in every LGA yearly. Integrated state health insurance policy for every Abian. Overhaul of entire Abia security system. Free basic education with plans to introduce at least one free fortified meal daily in primary schools. Massive budgetary attention to the industrialisation of Abia. And most of all, LP has no Godfathers that will be a burden to the govt or that will share the peoples' money. Etc
    Vote not just for the now ! Vote for the future and the future of your children.
    Long live the Labour Party of Abia state! Long live Abia state ! Long live the Federal republic of Nigeria !
    We must learn from our past mistakes.
    Abians are wiser now.

    Please pass round to every Abian that is tired of how Abia state is being ruled.
