Gov Otti advised to refrain from attacking predecessor, focus on governing Abia

A group, the Nigeria Citizens Watch for Good Governance has called on the Governor of Abia State, Dr Alex Otti to focus more on governing the state, and refrain from attacking his predecessor.

This call was made by the Spokesperson of the group, Maduka Samuel and made available to the media.

Mr Maduka explained that it became necessary for them to address the recent outbursts of the Governor targeting his predecessor Okezie Ikpeazu.

“We find the recent criticisms of Governor Alex Otti towards his predecessor, Okezie Ikpeazu, to be unwarranted and potentially damaging. It is concerning that the Governor, who has been in office for less than a year, is making unsubstantiated claims and employing derogatory language against the former Governor.

“In light of his recent comments, we demand facts to verify his claims. We urge him to give name of the so called contractor, to publish reports, detailed and accurate reports of all the doings he claimed have happened.

The group further said governance is a continuous process and they expect the incumbent Governor to continue on the projects Ikpeazu has started, to consolidate and even initiate more projects for Abians to enjoy the dividend of democracy in Abia State.

“It will do you well to remember you have less than three years in office to do your best and show Abians that you deserve a second term or you will be evicted out of the Government House on 29th may 2027”, the statement added.
