From Their titles, one can guess that most on that list are competent.

That's so intelligent of him, it's show's that he really want to work for Abians,thombs up Able Governor.

abia will be great again

The first to appoint will end up as the best to perform

Abia people rejoice for your time has come for your light to shine

19 out of 19 are Igbos.smh

No South west State Governor, including my Governor, HE Sanwo-Olu, must ever appoint Igbo or any non-Yoruba except the Governor of his or her state has appointed a Yoruba first.

Since 1999, South East state Governors keep appointing only Igbo of their own but want other states to appoint Igbo. That is a recipe for injustice and kolewek.

For justice, appoint Yoruba and non-Igbo first and the non Igbo states will appoint Igbo, collaborating by reciprocation. Gone are those days of injustice when you hold your own 100% and want to collect that of others in Yorubaland then turn around to meddle in our politics to work against the dominant political aspirations of the Yoruba when they demand you give them from your own.

Gov. Alex Otti , same Alex who was made in Yorubaland, should appoint a Yoruba today if you want an Abian to get an appointment in Yorubaland! If you don't, for justice and fairness, nothing for Abians in Yorubaland too. Gov. Nasir El Rufai appointed Yoruba into his Exco for 8 years yet Mallam El Rufai was not even made in Yorubaland like Mr. Alex Otti. SE Igbo Governors have no excuse!

The cheating will no longer be tolerated. Give us land in Igboland if you want land in Yorubaland. Give us appointment in Igboland if you want appointment in Yorubaland. That is collaborating by reciprocation.

There should be equity and fairness. Open up your Igboland,jobs, appointments and the opportunities there to the Yoruba and other Nigerians same way the Yoruba did and we can make progress together. Alex Otti wants to continue in this clannish nepotic tradition of cheating the Yoruba living in Igboland and continue the injustice against other Nigerians.It must to stop!

Yes 19 of 19 Igbo…. RESPECT OUR CULTURE…. Abia is not a no mans land….. Otti is full Igbo and is not bringing in OPC to Abia……

Sounds familiar right?

Tell your folks that East/Midwest/Middle Belt have been watching since 1970…. The gig is up to your tribalist AND BROKEN propaganda…

Our eyes don shine well well…..

Thanks Blackie…

This is what hitting the ground running looks like!
I am so excited for Ndi Abia and I am not even from Abia

Otti no time to waste
PH road needs serious immediate attention
My papa get plenty land for there, let them begin to appreciate cause of good motorable roads.

Very BIGOTED appointments


There are Igbos holding positions in other regions but no one from other region will be allowed to hold even the most insignificant position in any South East state.

Nice

Otti keep on track. You're doing well

Why do you want a Yoruba to be appointed in far away Abia bro?

There is nothing bad in Otti appointing only Igbo because that space is Igbo land.

We Yoruba should rather talk to our own mumu governors doing eye service who foolishly appoint other tribe as commissioners all in a bid to look One Nigerian.

I am suspecting that thing you claim to advertise on your signature is hard drugs. You stay in Iragbiji and you are expecting appointment from a place you have never visited.

Good start. Not wasting time with appointments

No time for play for Otti, Abia state is finally in good hands

They are younger governors, and I don't know when the case of Abia become a national concern!! If Here is a campaign ground for Labour Party they should let's us know.. instead of bumping to extremely meaningless articles

Nice one. He started well. No time

Otti seems ready for busy considering his activities thus far. Too early to appraise but I hope he maintains this momentum. Kudos to the new Abia state.

Two important names are missing Mallam Musa and Ogbeni Adeola. Don't later come and say Lagos is no man's land because this time around guess what may happen

You are very very wrong. Alex Otti is just being a bigot governor.

It is very bad for a governor to be so hostile to people of other regions. Other governors in other regions who give positions to Igbos are not fools, they are being nationalistic..


Kashim Shetima appointed Yorubas and Igbos in his cabinet while he was governor in Borno State

Nasiru El-Rufai also appointed Yorubas and Igbos into his cabinet while he was governor of Kaduna. State

Bola Ahmed Tinubu as governor of Lagos also gave appointments to Igbos and Hausas.

Sanwo-Olu has Igbos and Hausas in his cabine

So many other northern and south western governors do that all the time

There are so many governors who do that except Igbo governors and that doesn't make them fools, they are only being nationalistic

These days has been hell.

I cried today, no food , no drugs. See me fa. My good friend sef just dey hope say I go fit help am too, I only cried some more.


I still thank God for everything.

God Abeg , your child is depressed and borderline sucidal.

MadamExcellency:

BIGOTRY will not allow Alex Otti do that

So, Ukwa will no longer be getting the normal commissioner of petroleum portfolio again




Anyway. Otti has been meeting phase. He should try and pay pensioners too. He has been promising and promising
