Abia Infrastructure Mandate Celebrates with Abians and Dr. Alex Otti on Two years of Infrastructure Blitzkrieg.

ONN Abia 29.05.2025

When Abia Infrastructure Mandate started as a group in 2022, our state, Abia was a monumental reproach brought about by the triumvirate of irresponsible and corrupt leadership of Orji Uzo Kalu, Theodore Ahamefula Orji, and Okezie Victor Ikpeazu that together spanned through a 24 humpty dumpty years of corruption, ineptitude, neglect, poor leadership, intellectual emptiness and gross leadership irresponsibility.

But the arrival of Dr. Alex Otti induced positive change in infrastructure catholicon, ethical leadership, program driven, development orientation etcetera. Indeed, our reproach has turned to ovation around the country.

No more jests or skits about Abia of rotten cities, dirty environment, cesspit of garbage heaps, garbage jaunt, impassable roads, stone age humanity, abused citizens and littered with white elephant projects like the abandoned Igurube government that is uncompleted after 16 years of ground breaking.

In Alex Otti, a Daniel has finally come to judgment and the people can rejoice and celebrate in style again. Aba is being reinvented with scenic landscapes of rehabilitated roads infrastructure, from Portharcourt Road to Ogbor Hill, Asa road, Ohanku, Ngwa, Obohia, Erondu, Faulks, Abayi to Osisioma flyover, Osisioma industrial layout to Aba GRA, all have turned to scenic urban beauty and paved city layouts.

Beyond the ascerbic nature of opposition skepticism, it is one thing to have the money to spend and quite another to have the will to make impact with the money. In Alex Otti, there's the will and intentionality to make the available resources to drive projects and development. That is why some of us that know where we came from will not be bordered at being labeled praisesingers of The New Abia of Alex Otti.

Our only source of excitement is the distribution of infrastructure around the state that reboots Aba in Abia South, renews Umuahia urban in Abia Central and reticulates motorable roads in the mostly cutoff local governments in Abia North in an unprecedented spate of caterpillar revolution.

During the lost years of locusts in the state, we only watched the caterpillar convoys passing through Umuahia and Aba heading to neighboring states. Today Abia State has become one of the destinations of these convoys and someone is criticizing us for celebrating Alex Otti. No please, this is party time and the proper time to dance azonto. We won't be stoned for dancing azonto with Alex Otti like some politicians did with Ikpeazu two years ago with nothing to show.

Two years of Alex Otti's government is worth celebrating for crying out loud. Congratulations to Abians and the miracle worker, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti for making the impossible achievable.
