Otti’s Record Clearly Visible

The Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Abia State chapter has expressed delight that the 30 months record of Governor Alex Otti is visible across the 17 local government areas of the state.

Chairman of the chapter, Chinedum Ekeke, stated this at a press briefing by the chapter in Umuahia, the state capital, yesterday, while reacting to allegations of low performance by the opposition against the governor.

”We have taken note of recent public statements and political meetings convened by architects of a failed past who are unsettled by the present progress in the state, including some former governors and their associates,” he said.

Ekeke said since the assumption of office, Otti had demonstrated clear commitments to good governance, fiscal responsibility, and service delivery, with verifiable improvements recorded across the 17 local governments.

He further said the records include rehabilitation, and construction of roads, healthcare and educational facilities, prompt payment of salaries and pensions, clearing backlogs of wages, and prudent management of public resources.

He noted that their position enables them to be in constant interaction with their communities and can attest to the growing public confidence in the direction of governance and the tangible benefits being experienced by the people.

He called on all political actors, past and present, to engage constructively by presenting ideas, policies, and alternative visions capable of advancing development, unity, and stability of the state, rather than resorting to divisive or distracting statements.

‎He reaffirmed their commitment to supporting policies and programmes that strengthen local governance, deepen institutional development, and improve the quality of life of citizens across all local government areas of the state.

‎The chairman expressed their deep appreciation to the governor for the massive support and strong collaborative relationship between the state government and the local governments.

‎According to him “The state is on a path of renewal and progress, and the future of the state remains firmly in the hands of its people, whose collective judgement will always be respected.”

‎

‎He used the opportunity to announce that the chapter had collectively and unequivocally passed a vote of confidence on the governor and commits its absolute support to his re-election in 2027.
