Ikpeazu"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday in Abuja, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia said Nigeria&#8217;s problem is not corruption, but a lack of cohesion and unity among the people.<\/p>\n<p>He said this during a public presentation of his book, &#8220;The Biochemistry of Environmental Pollution,&#8221; which he described as his contribution to the body of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Ikpeazu and Kalu Kalu collaborated on the book.<\/p>\n<p>Kalu holds a Ph.D. in Nutritional Biochemistry and Lexicology and works as a lecturer in the Department of Veterinary Biochemistry and Animal Production at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture in Umudike.<\/p>\n<p>The University of Calabar awarded Ikpeazu a Ph.D. in Pharmacological Biochemistry and Toxicology.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the book launch, Ikpeazu said: \u201cThe greatest problem of Nigeria today is not security, neither is it economic. It is a lack of cohesion. It is disunity. Our problem is mutual suspicion and lack of mutual respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/05\/31\/ikpeazu-we-can-achieve-biafra-nation-without-barrels-of-the-gun\/\"> build the country<\/a>, we must come together irrespective of tribe and religion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should see the country as belonging to all of us under one God,\u201d the Abia state governor said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the aggrieved five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors, otherwise known as G-5 governors, to which he belonged, Ikpeazu said the agitation of the governors was beyond 2023.<\/p>\n<p>He said that it was all about inclusiveness and what the governors thought was at the root of the country\u2019s challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I come to a point in my life as a politician and you produce two or three critical officers of my party and they are all coming from one particular geo-political zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will agitate, even if they come from my geo-political zone, everybody has to be brought to the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you exclude Igbos from Northern Nigeria I will ask a question, I will also protest. If you exclude some people from Western Nigeria, I will still protest. For me, it is about including everybody.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe youth, the women, people from the North and South, all of us, we need to do social mobilization in order for us to solve the economic problems of this country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the new book, Ikpeazu said the essence was to solve problems, adding that his study and sojourn in the area of biochemistry would be in vain, \u201dif I could not contribute to the body of knowledge\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is this drive that propelled me to keep at it till I achieved it. When I came over to the flip side of public service, to serve as governor, I thought that would have been a point of divergence and disconnection from my first love \u2013 Biochemistry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut each time, I look at every issue, and every problem from the perspective of biochemistry,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n<p>He recalled that in 2013 when he had the opportunity to serve as the Deputy General Manager, Abia State Environmental Protection Agency, he saw the dimension of biochemistry.<\/p>\n<p>This, he said, was especially in terms of trying to explain the causes and the diseases and the derailment we suffer every day because of the pollutants in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiochemistry refuses to leave me and I had to go back and pick it up. I feel very fulfilled because this is a journey I started over 20 years ago, it is not easy at all,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/05\/24\/2023-gov-ikpeazu-emerges-pdp-candidate-for-abia-south\/\">Ikpeazu<\/a> said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that writing a book on biochemistry did not leave him with too much choice, because there were rules and principles which must be reflected in interventions.<\/p>\n<p>He said for him, it was the icing on the cake, adding that as an academic, he felt fulfilled and happy writing the book.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday in Abuja, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia said Nigeria&#8217;s problem is not corruption, but a lack of cohesion and unity among the people.
