This is the most ridiculous and dishonourable comment to make.

The questions begging for answers are:

1. You vilified Alex Otti, called him a serial loser and predicted that he was going to lose, so at what point did you work for him?
2. Why were you aggrieved with your Party when you boasted and shouted that your party was getting everything right?
3. If you betrayed your Party because you were aggrieved, does that not portray you as a Traitor? Why should Otti trust and embrace a Betrayer and a Traitor?

Listen very well, no Betrayer worked for Otti and no Traitor was part of his victory. There were many honest and courageous Abians who supported Dr. Otti’s election across party lines, including those in the PDP, APC, APGA, YPP etc. They didn’t hide their support, rather they were honest and honourable enough to make their position and decisions clear.
They supported Otti because they were convinced that he was the best candidate. Overwhelming majority of them are happy and proud of the decision they took, because it has taken Abia out of the doldrums of mediocre governance.

Many of them didn’t take the decision because they were looking for appointments or personal gains, but because they wanted to play a part in the redemption of Abia.

No government appoints all the people that supported its emergence, because the priority of every responsible government is good governance, which when achieved affects and impacts the generality of the people.

Chief John Okiyi Kalu once boasted that Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu appointed over 60 Special Advisers and Assistants from Abiriba Community. I felt so ashamed that he had the courage to make such a disclosure, because that’s a glaring sign of irresponsible governance.

Abiriba is a community of 3 wards, so assuming each of the wards got 20 from that 60 “Special Advisers/Assistants” and the rest of the 184 wards of the state got the same number, that means that Dr. Ikpeazu must have had Three Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty (3,680) Special Advisers/Assistants.

Given the vision of Nde Abiriba and their quest for development, they definitely would have preferred that that particular government built a road of 20 kilometres for them instead of destroying the destinies of their youths with portfolios that were more useless than used tissue papers.

Once again, Dr. Alex Otti was made Governor by God through Abia masses and other lovers of good governance from different political parties and not by Betrayers and Traitors, and by the Special Grace of God, the people are prepared and poised to doing it again in a more convincing manner.
