By Editor , Umuahia

Residents of Aba the commercial nerve centre if Abia state have extolled governor Alex Otti for his infrastructural revolution taking place in various nooks and crannies of the city.

The residents trooped out to witness governor Alex Otti inspect progress of work on the Port-Harcourt Road, Aba, Ekeakpara – NNPC Road Osisioma, Omuma Road and the abandoned old express with over one Kilometre heaps of refuse, the long abandoned Eziukwu road, Market road, Tenant road, Cameroun Road, Ehi Road, Clifford Road, School Road and other strategic roads across Asa road within Aba Metropolis.

They praised the governor’s commitment in changing the narratives in road and drainage infrastructure in Aba.

Some of the residents of the Roads undergoing constructions including Mr. Titus Ndubuisi, Mr. Nneamaka Enyindiya, Mrs. Ngozi OKeke among others described Governor Otti as the People’s Governor, elected by the people to work for the people.

Chanting solidarity songs for the governor, the residents said boldly that Governor Alex Otti did not need to come to Aba for re-election campaigns.

They said that the roads and drainages he had fixed and the ones currently being fixed are enough campaigns for him.

They publicly rejected the era of sharing money, rice, keke napep, okada, kerosene and deceptive non-sustainable ’empowerment’ that impoverished the people.

They narrated how dilapidated and abandoned the roads and neighbourhood were before the Governor’s intervention and said that no Government in the last 24 years plus has attempted doing what Governor Otti has done for them.

Inspecting the roads in company of his some aides, Governor Alex Otti expressed satisfaction with the level of work on the roads and said that with the multiple ongoing construction and reconstruction of roads across the State, Abia will soon take its pride of place in the comity of economically advanced states with the right environment for investment and investors.

He directed the commissioner for Works to put pressure on the contractor handling the Ekeakpara – Osisioma road to accelerate the pace of the work. Governor Otti commended the quality of the job done on Port Harcourt Road, Aba by Julius Berger, adding that the road will soon be ready for commissioning as well as other roads.

Governor Otti while noting that Aba’s lost glory is gradually coming back, as the people no longer witness perennial flooding in the city, urged Aba residents to assist government in keeping the city clean and to desist from obstructing free flow of water in the drainages through unwholesome acts of throwing debris into them.

The Governor thanked the obviously happy people of Aba for their support to the contractors and his Government and assured them of more glorious days ahead.
