Umuahia — Governor Theodore Orji of Abia state has given kudos to President Goodluck Jonathan for the establishment of a new Army formation, 14 Brigade of the Nigeria Army at Ohafia, Abia state.
The governor, who spoke through his media adviser Ugochukwu Emezue, said the establishment of the barracks "is a clear indication of President Jonathan's desire to sustain the success already recorded in the security situation in Abia".
He said Abia has remained peaceful since the intervention of the military late last year who he said has stopped kidnappers that hitherto rampaged the state and almost crippled commercial activities in Aba the economic honey pot of the state.
"The efforts of the joint military force in Abia in the past few months have seen the kidnappers meeting their waterloo in the state," the governor added.
