Chief of Staff to Abia State Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba says Governor Alex Otti’s divine rescue mission in the State cannot be derailed by political jobbers no matter the energy they put into their selfish journeys.
Speaking on Saturday, at the Umuezegu Community Primary School, while addressing an enlarged
meeting of his Ward 3 kinsmen in Isiala Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North LGA in company of some top government officials, Pastor Ajagba expressed confidence that divine intervention would frustrate any conspiracy and gang-up against the present Abia State government.
He therefore charged Abians to resist the moves being made by members of the opposition parties in the state against Governor Alex Otti, to shield the State from returning to Egypt.
Pastor Ajagba, who emphasised that members of the opposition were bent on reversing the gains already made by the current Governor Alex Otti led administration, condemned the renewed political opposition activities and attacks against Governor Otti, and questioned the credibility of those who now claim to have the capacity to govern the state better than the Governor.
“Why is it now that the Governor has come to create a sustainable roadmap for Abia, that they have suddenly realised they can do better?
“Why is it that for 24 years they couldn’t do it? What have they got again to offer? They have expired.
“They want to take us back to Egypt, No, no, no, it can’t work”, Pastor Ajagba stated..
The Chief of staff noted that the present administration inherited a level of decay that could have discouraged a less-prepared leader, and expressed delight that Governor Otti prepared and deliberately assembled a competent team to reverse decades of misrule in the State.
“The level of deterioration we met on ground when we came was unprecedented. It was enough to discourage someone who was not prepared for this job”.
“The things they destroyed in 24 years, it took this man (Governor Otti) 24 months to fix.
“Govenor Alex Otti is on a divine rescue mission and nothing can stop it (the mission)”, Ajagba stated.
He, however, thanked members of Ward 3 in Isiala Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa North LGA, for their continued support for the present administration and assured that the Governor is committed to delivering more democracy dividends to the people of the State.
Addressing the gathering, the Member representing Isiala Ngwa North/South Federal Constituency, Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, lauded Governor Otti, for his giant strides and infrastructural development across Isiala Ngwa and other parts of the state.
He appreciated the Governor for the construction and rehabilitation of critical road infrastructure in the area, including the Ntigha–Nbawsi–Eziala Road, Nbawsi–Agburuike–Umuomaiukwu Road, Avo–Umuerim Road, and Okpuala Ngwa–Obikabia Road, among others.
Hon. Onwusibe further thanked the Otti administration’s interventions in key sectors such as Health, Education, Security and Transportation, noting that the recent migration of communities in Isiala Ngwa to the Geometrics Power has brought uninterrupted electricity supply to the area, a development that has significantly improved the quality of life of the people.
Contributing, the Commissioner for Works, Engr. Otumchere Oti, the Commissioner for Power and Public Utilities, Engr. Ikechukwu Monday and Commissioner for Transport, Dr Chimezie Ukaegbu said that the Governor Otti-led administration, since assuming office, has embarked on massive road construction and rehabilitation across Abia State
They said that Isiala Ngwa communities have benefitted immensely from the Light Up Abia Project, including the provision of transformers and would benefit the more, assuring that before the expiration of Governor Otti’s tenure, road construction would reach all nooks and crannies of the state.
In their separate remarks, the State Chairman of the Labour Party, Chief Nwaeze Oti; Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Investment Promotion and Public-Private Partnership, Dr J.N
Greene -Amakwe; SA on Cooperatives, Hon. Ishmael Onuoha; SA to the Governor on Lands and Housing, Pastor Okorougo Aji; all commended Governor Otti for delivering massive infrastructural development across all sectors of the state.
They appreciated the people of Isiala Ngwa for their solidarity and unwavering support for the Governor, urging them to sustain the momentum and ensure they obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a vote of thanks, the Ward 3 Chairman of the Labour Party, Isiala Ngwa North LGA, Mr John Nduaguibe, thanked Pastor Caleb Ajagba for convening the meeting and assured him of their unalloyed support to the Governor Alex Otti led administration in the state.
