Early 2025...as recent as last week, Asiwaju had to leave those online/offline miscreants trooping in to his Bourdillion home to beg for bags of rice & other orishirishi, after scanning chatisement by the populist & leading opposition in Nigeria; H.E Peter Obi of Labor party, to commission some of the above named projects.....

These projects reflect Governor Otti's commitment to transforming Abia State through infrastructural development, economic empowerment, and improved public services

Now, let's talk about how much both states have earned over their administration. Both Federal Allocations, Grants, Donor aides & IGR.

The next phase of this discussion will center on the impact of this projects on the people of both states, the Feasibility and ease of completion.

I don't know who instilled this spirit of needless comparison in you people.

I have never seen a thread of Kano Vs Kaduna or Osun Vs Ondo before because their people know that every governor has a different mandate upon which they are assessed.

So-called healthy competition wey go soon lead to SENSELESS chestbeating, dick measurements and insults.

And what's our business with how kano and kaduna or osun and ondo decides to handle their governance?

You will certainly have no issues if the thread was about comparing who is the worse governor. Igbos like to chestbeat and boast and they live up to it, how is that a problem?

This is a good thread, praising good works is a means to encourage more good works.

Mabamara and Otti. Una well done

Although Nwifuru is better but not far on par with soludo.
Mbah takes the lead with:
260 primary health center.
New city.
Conference center.
New hotels.
Recruitment of teachers & health workers.
Mega statewide terminals.
Major road dualization.
260 Smart schools.
Alphalt, tractors, flours and other manufacturing companies.
E.t.c.
Even otti comes no closer talkles of confused mofo called soludo.

Alex otti is a disgrace to good governernce and the worst governor among the 36 states governors

My dear, facts please....

Based on earnings (IGR, Fed allocation, Donor etc) and the physical project initiated, ongoing and completed.

Wow....for Mbah. Low key Services to Enugu state. No wonder Asiwaju like him.

Nwifuru is also a great guy....but handicapped due to funds. Can't compare earnings btw Anambra & Ebonyi though.

Any Governor that can't effectively handle traffic situation in their domain during festive periods leading to terrible traffic grids should have a rethink

IduNaOba:
Soludo is the best actually.

Besides the Trunk A roads (I guess that's what Fed Ministry of Works calls federal road network).... Traffic jams are not commonplace in Igbo towns & villages during yuletide celebration....

The man disappointed many of us even as a prof. Just set Anambra state backwards by 20 years. Which projects is he doing?projects that look as if it's ogbommanu people that are doing the project.

The last administration also tried in aba ,like the flyover ,remodelling of the market .otti is trying but mba is touching every sector in enugu .if he continue like this ,enugu will be top three in nigeria

You will be making a big mistake to travel out of your village during such period to criss cross Enugu town, you can be sure that you will be held up in traffic

Not surprised. Have you ever left your father house to another state because of free food and inability to pay rent/bills.Do you even know the direction of abia state. Pls tell us you own state so we can do proper comparison. I hope you are not another claimed man who has only his dick to contribute in nigeria. When other are husting to make mone/pay bills. You are looking for something to take so you can stay longer on a woman ...dick man
