I’m Not Fighting Anyone, Only Interested In Good Governance- Otti
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Alex Otti the Governor of Abia State said that his administration is not fighting anybody and he is only interested in recovering looted funds and achieving good governance. This was stated by Otti at Nvosi during a solidarity visit by various groups and supporters of the Member representing Isiala-Ngwa South state constituency, Chief Rowland Chinwendu. Governor Otti said that what he wants is the development and progress of Abia state. He also went on to say that his administration would soon commence a medical city project in Abia. According to him, this would attract people with serious health issues to the state for adequate medical care.

Otti insisted that all that his administration is doing in the state is just a rehearsal and that he is more committed to delivering democracy dividends in his second year. He went on to describe the visit of Hon. Chinwendu and his group of supporters as a good omen and thanked the lawmaker for his support in the State House of Assembly.

Furthermore, he disclosed that they have been working together since the inception of the 8th Assembly. In a statement, he said that he had established a forensic audit of our account as soon as he was sworn in and the report turns out that a lot of money was looted, stolen brazenly and part of it was the N10 billion Abia airport project. They started insulting me. If you follow what is happening in the media, you will know that what I said is true.

Otti said, “We are looking for our money. If we are not able to find the airport, they will have to refund us our money. We are not pursuing anybody, they should refund the money they stole, let’s use it to work for our people.” He continued by saying that our place must develop and that they will continue to build roads, continue to clean up the environment, create jobs, and continue to put our state on the map. In his statement also, he said that “our educational system must be completely revamped, our hospital system must not only work but will be to that level where the rest of the world is today.” Hon. Rowland Chiwendu, the Member representing Isiala-Ngwa South State Constituency, in his speech, noted that the people of Isiala-Ngwa South sent him to the House to represent their interest with its democracy dividends. He stressed that he cannot afford to be seen as an opposition to the Governor, who is from the same council area as himself. While commending Otti for the ongoing reconstruction of the Umuikaa-Umuene road, among other projects in the area, the lawmaker said that he brought his supporters to identify with him and tell him that they are proud of his achievements in office.

The Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Prince Uzo Nwachukwu, and Mayor of Isiala-Ngwa South LGA, Dr. Elelenta Nwambuisi Elele, in their remarks, noted that the coming of Governor at this time is divine and described Otti as a leader who is on a divine mission to rebuild the state for the better. Chairman of Isiala-Ngwa South LGA, Chief Ifeanyi Isikaku, and Mr. Henry Ori on their part thanked God for bringing Governor Alex Otti to rebuild Abia which they said they were happy that the governor has turned Abia into a construction site. He added by saying that Abia is today setting the pace for other states to follow.
