Expected to be the BEST but now he's struggling with Dapo Abiodun to be the WORST governor
Dapo Abiodun is better than most governors, expecially in road infrastructure. Forget the image laundering that they have used to stain his reputation. He has done better in road construction than my governor, Obaseki. The roads they have been calling him out for, are even federal road but he can still do them. However it is a big shame that Ogun produces a president for solid eight years and vice president for also same length and their federal roads are in bad shape.

Is this a cheap attempt at defending Otti?

As long as Otti is working we don't have problem.
I don't know why non Abians are more disturbed than the Abians.

We the good people of Abia are not complaining.

Why won't you call it fake. SHameless defenders of slavery and malfeasance.
Their level of hypocrisy is so loud. If it were to be from another zone and expecially an Apc governor, they will flood here. Very useless people. They just hype Otti. Nothing is really much happening for good over there. Look at the amount for only cars in just this year budget. He his not different from other governors. If truly he is a servant leader, he won't spend so much for vehicles when he couldn't pay last minimum wage and he has not also talk about the 70k minimum wage now. Igbos are known for hyping. Soludo will remain the best governor of this set from south east and one of the very best east has produced. He his currently among the best performing governors in Nigeria.

Namaster:
"“If you check N1.5 billion against N487 billion budget, that translates to about 0.3%, less than half percent of the total figure, and I believe that it is not that significant in determining the outcome. So even if the wrong number was carried down to the total, it wouldn’t have been material."

This is the justification of a CRIMINAL who knows he would get away with his crimes.

Imagine the Governor of a state in DIRE need of infrastructural development saying an error of #1.35 BILLION Naira is NOT a big deal.

He was NONCHALANT about this gross demonstration of fiscal irresponsibility.

He fuccked up. He knows he fuccked up. But his reply was "I fuccked up, so what?".

Also, the EXCUSE that the error was from the spreadsheet is so LAME.

He didn't even bother to get CREATIVE about it. At least, the other criminal claimed that SNAKES and MONKEYS ate the money.

Blaming the spreadsheet is a WACKY move. The number of people that needs to go through a budget before it's approved means a MISTAKE in excess of ONE BILLION should have been obvious.

If #1.35B can just MAGICALLY appear in a budget without raising eyebrows, then the CONTROL measures are INSUFFICIENT.

People should be SACKED for this!

The LACKADAISICAL response from the Governor is particularly infuriating.
But he said it's 150m not 1.5 billion.

no whiz anything in Nigerias politics, its business. Politics in Nigeria is a means for individuals to enrich themselves, sometimes I laugh when I see ignorant individuals writing trash on the Internet and threatening fire and brimstone.

Very insensitive.

In this hardship time, it is difficult to believe that some people in government can still live life of profligacy.

How did you arrive at your calculations? 30 solid years is 360 months.

Minimum wage is 70k.


New hire 3,000


Fund involved 5.8bn

Bro, you are on point. I don't know what is wrong with my people. They like to lie to themselves and it is very annoying. I don't know if it is education or what but even the educated ones still share the same sentiments. You need to see how they were louding his achievements on social media and I thought he has turned Abia to London. I traveled their to meet a friend that relocated to Aba from Amsterdam because of the electricity hype and all that, and I was so shocked. You need to see the substandard roads he constructed that Rochas Okorachas road is even better than it. Garbage still litters the street and Power supply in Aba is worst than those in the national grid.

Wike on the other hand that is by far the best governor ever asides Donald Duke in terms of world class infrastructure they hate him simply because he did not support PO. There's nothing he does that they will like. I've lived in the US for over 19 years and I've never seen them deliver the kind of infrastructure Wike delivered in Abuja in just 7 months. He starts, he finishes. Yet they don't care. Give my people who they like and let him sit there and steal the whole allocation and do nothing for them, they will still support him blindly and defend him like they are doing for PO.

With the recent attack on PO, you guys have seen clearly that it is our people that are championing this Obidient agenda. They are the same people that supported IPOB that has turned our zone to war zone, because of their hatred for Buhari.
