The Member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ibe Okwara Osonwa, has congratulated Governor Alex Otti on the occasion of his second anniversary in office, describing his tenure so far as visionary, transformative, and deeply impactful on the lives of Abians.

In a statement personally signed by him on Wednesday, Rep. Osonwa praised the governor’s leadership style, which he said has ushered in a new era of purposeful governance in Abia State.

Osonwa particularly commended Governor Otti for signing into law the Greater Ohafia Development Authority (GODA) bill, a legislative milestone designed to accelerate development in Abia North Senatorial District of the State. He described the establishment of GODA as a bold and strategic move to bring infrastructure, investment, and administrative attention to long-neglected communities.

According to him, the signing of GODA into law represents a clear commitment to inclusive growth and development.

He further lauded Governor Otti’s unprecedented strides in infrastructural development across the state, especially in his federal constituency. These include the ongoing reconstruction of the 41.4-kilometre Ohafia-Arochukwu Road, which had been abandoned for decades despite its critical economic importance. He also noted the commencement and progress on the Omenuko Bridge, the Ndi Okereke Abam-Arochukwu Road, and the Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Abiriba-Ohafia Road, all of which are strategically important to improving access, mobility, and commerce across Abia North.

The federal lawmaker applauded the governor’s Smart Schools initiative across the state as a major leap in educational transformation. Osonwa said the project symbolizes a new era in education for children in Abia state. He noted that with the plan to establish smart schools in all 17 local government areas of the state, Governor Otti is laying the groundwork for a digital, innovative, and future-ready education system.

Rep. Osonwa also recognised the administration’s efforts in revamping the healthcare sector, especially the ongoing retrofitting of 200 primary healthcare centers and the upgrade of select general hospitals to specialist status. He said such interventions are vital in ensuring accessible and quality healthcare services across the state, especially for rural and underserved communities.

He concluded by assuring Governor Otti of his continued support and partnership in delivering people-centered projects to the good people of Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency and beyond.

Rep. Osonwa noted that the governor’s achievements within two years are not just impressive, but a testament to what visionary leadership anchored on accountability, transparency, and service can accomplish.

“As we mark this second anniversary of Governor Alex Otti’s administration, we celebrate a leader who is not only fulfilling his campaign promises but is also setting a new standard for governance in Abia State. His dedication, courage, and commitment to rebuilding our state are visible and commendable. The people of Arochukwu/Ohafia are proud to be part of this new Abia,” Osonwa stated.
