On social media, Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and his counterpart from Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, have come under fire for their holiday to Turkey.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Governor Wike said that he was in desperate need of a holiday at the moment.
Wike posed for shots with Ikpeazu and a few of his aides in some of the images he posted on his Twitter account.
“Finally enjoying a much-needed vacation in Turkey with my brother Governor Okezie Ikpeazu,” Wike had tweeted.
Following the release of the images, outraged Abians rushed to Twitter to express their outrage at the governor for leaving the state unattended while on vacation in Turkey.
Others, however, called the Ikpeazu administration a failure and urged the governor to return from his trip and address the issues the state was experiencing.
See some of the reactions below.
Okezie Ikpeazu don’t deserve vacation in a beautiful place like this. Abia people should make sure this man’s political career dies a natural death. https://t.co/uFsUvXGoDd

If you are from Abia State, you have no right to insult any politician…. not even Ortom. That state is terrible in every ramification.

This is Okezie Ikpeazu. The Worst Governor back in Nigeria. Here, he is enjoying a pristine environment in Turkey. Attached is a photo of the sorry condition of Abia State. I can understand Wike & vacation.
Enough is Enough!
