My friend you better sharap Ur 👄 this is purely Abia state politics and we appreciate all the developmental projects being done by our excellent performing governor Alex Otti.

It's federal funded project and the FG can go to any lender to fund its projects across the country. I thought you guys atleast went to a secondary school?. If the President didn't approve it, who will, if the FEC didn't approve it, is it Otti that will approve it?. I swear, I wished Tinubu could just treat you guys like Buhari.

The president is under obligations to approve it once the state is qualified to take such loan.
Are you aware that Abia state provided over $23m. Counterpart funding?

The president is not under any obligation to approve. He can decide not to approve. Jonathan refused to approve Lagos State Blue line rail request and heaven did not fall. If Tinubu refused to approve Abia loan request, heaven will not fall.
