The immediate past Deputy Governor of Abia State and a Chieftain of the PDP, Sir Ude Oko Chukwu says that Governor Alex Otti has through various landmark achievements earned himself a second term in office.

Sir Oko Chukwu stated this while answering questions from news men, after a closed -door meeting he held with the Governor Otti. He noted that Governor Otti has within a short period in office transformed every facet of the State’s economy.

“You see, let me tell you, I’ve gone around Abia state, especially those of us who come from Abia North. You just discovered that the kind of road infrastructure that we have there, is unprecedented.

“So, it’s not all about politics, it’s not. No propaganda about it. The truth must be told. There is a remarkable improvement.

“You discover that virtually everything that he’s doing, he’s been very, very intentional about everything. Is it in terms of road infrastructure? Is it on health? Is it on sports? Very, very intentional.

“Going by what he ( Gov. Otti) has done so far, you will discover that without mincing words, he has earned himself another tenure” Sir Oko Chukwu stated.

The former Deputy Governor who described the infrastructural revolution of Governor Otti’s government across the state including Abia North, Aba and Umuahia as unprecedented, said that Abians have not witnessed the level of cleanliness and development being championed by the present administration.

“Even if you move around Aba, move around Umuahia, the level of cleanliness, is such that we have not witnessed before,” He stated.

The PDP Chieftain, who was equally a former Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, said that the visit was to appreciate the Governor’s giant strides across the State, noting that Governor Alex Otti has been intentional in all he has done in road infrastructure, Education, Health, sports development and assured him of the support of Abia stakeholders and statesmen.

“So, we just came to commend him and to appreciate him and let him know that all hands are on deck to support him, and looking at all that he has been able to do within just two years.

“You can just be reassured that the man has earned himself another tenure,” Sir Oko Chukwu repeated.

On whether he would join other opposition party members who are already in realignments with the Governor’s Labour Party, Sir Oko Chukwu said, if he conclude on that, it would be made public.

“They are doing realignments, it’s also likely that some of us will also join them in doing realignments.

“If I’m going to do that (join LP), I will invite all of you to be part of what will happen, maybe soonest”, Sir Oko Chukwu stated.
