The former governor told his successor to take responsibility for his actions and inactions while in office, instead of shifting blames to others.

“Ikpeazu should once again carry his cross and take responsibility for his actions and inactions instead of looking for who to blame as governance is not necessarily about making speeches,” Orji added.
