Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has assured Nigerians resident in Cairo, Egypt that things are looking better in Abia State and will get better going forward.

The Governor stated this during his interactive session with The Abia State National Association Cairo, Egypt as part of his working visit to Egypt as a Keynote Speaker at the Intra-African Trade Fair currently ongoing in Cairo.

Governor Ikpeazu used the opportunity to update the delegation of the new developments in Abia State especially the Enyimba Economic City and other key projects of his administration.

He noted that the era of listing roads built and other infrastructure provided as accomplishments was over as those were basic requirements people should expect of any office holder and that he was more focused on opening up Abia State for rapid industrialisation as the surest way to accelerate the economy of the state.

According to the Governor, "what we have been doing with the Made In Aba Campaign and the Enyimba Economic City which are receiving global attention today are landmark interventions which will outlive us and set Abia State on an irrevocable path of economic self-reliance and I invite you all to be our ambassadors in the diaspora and spread the message. The world can no longer ignore Abia State and you should all hold your heads high as your state is now synonymous with global respect".

In his speech, the President of the Abia State National Association of Cairo, Egypt, Chief Ifeanyi Umakalu thanked the Governor for the audience and informed him that the Association was in constant touch with their kin back home and they were aware of all his efforts.

The Association made a request for the Governor to approve a parcel of land for them anywhere in the state so they can develop properties from the proceeds of their businesses in Egypt and assured the Governor of their unflinching support for him in his re-election bid.

In a vote of thanks to the Association on behalf of the Governor, renowned businessman and politician, Ochiagha Reagan Ufomba thanked the Association for their enthusiastic support for the Governor and informed them that the Governor had united all disparate key political elements in the state and that everyone that mattered in Abia State was firmly behind the Governor.

High point of the interactive session was the presentation of symbolic gifts to the Governor by Members of the Association.

The Governor will on Thursday, December 13, 2018 join Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to declare the Nigerian Day at the Fair open while he will also deliver a Keynote Speech in the afternoon and Chair the Nigerian Night in the evening.

The Intra-African Trade Fair is a gathering of key Trade and Investment Decision Makers from Africa and around the world and has several Presidents of countries in attendance.

Abia State is represented at the Fair by 4 leather goods producers sponsored by Nigerians in Cairo and the Bank of Industry.

Is Alex Otti a Closet Fan of Governor Ikpeazu?

After watching the video of the governorship campaign launch of factional candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abia State, Mazi Alex Otti, it dawned on me that he just might be a closet fan of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s school of good governance, only that personal desperation to appropriate the title of “Governor of Abia State” to himself has made it difficult for him to acknowledge that and join hands with the incumbent to develop the state.

This piece is not necessarily about the legendary political desperation of Mazi Otti that compelled him to change his place of origin from Arochukwu to Isiala Ngwa and made him lie to our people that he had secured a $100b facility from the International Financial Corporation (IFC) to fix Aba in 2015 at the premises of Aba Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (ACCIMA).

I will rather focus on examining the content of the recent video of Otti vis-à-vis what Governor Ikpeazu has done and continued doing since May 29, 2015, and leave you to confirm if indeed Otti is merely a fan of Governor Ikpeazu’s school of administration who desperately wants powerful himself as an end on its own.

Before embarking on this review, it is important to remind Abians that in those 16 years Otti mentioned as bad years of PDP in Abia State he was not only a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who was registered at Arochukwu Ward III, as at July 18, 2014, with membership card number 16 but also one that could be rightly referred to as a chieftain of the party. He was also a key stakeholder of the party who publicly and privately romanced the leaders of Abia State, did business with the state, helped to manage the state’s FAAC and pension accounts and indeed declared to contest for Governor under PDP.

Not even once did then PDP member Otti criticize the Orjj Kalu or T. A. Orji Governments in public until he found himself being zoned out of the Governorship by our State’s charter of equity. If PDP of those years was indeed an evil party that misled Abia State, when will Otti take personal responsibility for being part of the so called evil cabal?

The only time Alex Otti has not been intimately involved with Abia leadership is under Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and even the worst critic of the incumbent Governor has acknowledged that while he has not solved all Abia challenges in less than 4 years, he has certainly solved many, changed the narrative and shown capacity cum willingness to do much more positive things for the people of the state.
