Otti has come to repair Abia after 24 years in wilderness - Obi of Onitsha

The monarch said 24 years of bad governance has left Abia in a rotten state that requires serious work to repair.

The Obi of Onitsha, HRH Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, has lauded Governor Alex Otti for bringing relief to Abia State 24 years after allegedly being in the wilderness.

The monarch said this while inaugurating three roads in the state reconstructed by the Otti government on Friday, May 24, 2024.

The roads include Old Court Road, Ehi Road, and Kent Road, all located in Aba, Abia's commercial capital.

Speaking at the event, the Obi of Onitsha said, “Otti is God-sent. After 24 years in the wilderness (of the state), Otti has come to repair Abia State and Aba.

“Aba used to be number one in business and industry, but since one year ago Otti came in, things have changed. By God’s grace, the changes will continue like that for the four years he will be in office.

“You put him there and must support him to deliver a democracy dividend to you,” he said.
