President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will visit Abia State on May 23, to among other things, commission the 6.5 kilometre Port Harcourt Road in Aba, which was rebuilt by the administration of Governor Alex Otti administration after more than 15 years in dilapidation.

The Minister of Works, Dave Umahi disclosed this to journalists while inspecting the damage done at the Osisioma axis of the 56 kilometre Abia Tower of Peace, Umuahia to Rail Flyover, Aba section of the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway, a different Federal government project. Umahi expressed joy that work on Port Harcourt Road, Aba, which was left in a dilapidated state over the years, had now been completed by Abia State government, awaiting commissioning by Mr. President.

The Minister commended Governor Otti for not only completing work on the road, but also for the quality job done. “You know Otti is my relation and doing good while in office runs in our veins, so, I’m not surprised at what he is doing, I would have if he is not doing well,” he stated.

On the damaged portions of the expressway at Osisioma which is said to be about two kilometers long, the Minister directed the Controller of Works of the Ministry in Abia, to stop the contractor handling the underground drainage for Abia State government that caused the damage and report to the Ministry’s headquarters in Abuja for discussions.

Umahi equally promised to meet and discuss with Governor Otti on the best way to get the issue settled. The Minister further disclosed that the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway which reconstruction started in 2013, will be completed in November this year and subsequently commissioned by President Tinubu.

Mba, Soludo, Otti, these are SE opposition Governors inviting Mr President to their states. How many past Presidents enjoy this kind of courtesy?. Only delusion would make some people think this President has any opposition in 2027.

What do you expect, this are first time governors, they want a second term because Nigeria concentrated all their powers to the center. How can the president be the one to appoint INEC chairman?

You go explain tire. Person wey pass you, pass you. Gubernatorial election is local, you don't need the President to win it. These Governors basically just appreciate the President for his support towards them and you could see it all over them.


-Kiss the truth!

Stop with all these infantile low IQ narratives! No opposition state government is threatened by APC in the SE. The people will not vote for APC come rain come sunshine. They are as secure as can be and are all endorsing Tinubu because they can see what their followers cannot see. The fight is for the VP slot for 2031 and presidency in 2039 and the SE govs know the SS have jumped ahead of the SE.

The SW is out of the picture from 2031-2047 as far as presidency and VP is concerned. That leaves the SE and the SS. you dont just come in 2031 and start demanding its your turn..you start the work now...Se governors simply realise the SS has jumped ahead of them. orji Kalu said in a video post recently "how do i negotiate for the SE with other regions, when I have no votes?"

I have said it many times, I really feel bad for Umahi, a performing minister, loyal and one of the early APC defectors in the SE....ordinarily he should be the VP in waiting for 2031 but you cant negotiate without votes.
