That road brings back terrible memories when I plied it during my nysc years. Kai, that raod will gallantly rank among the top 5 worstest roads in Nigeria.

One of the Worst roads in Abia state. Going to Calabar via Umuahia through that road is like going to hellfire.

The annoying part is that an Ikwuano son was House of Reps member there from 2015-2023.

This same man is a Board member in the North East Development Commission yet that road has been a deathtrap since the mid-2000s.

A Minister under Buhari was also from that LGA but only tarred into his own compound, yet on the same road you have a Federal University and 3 other Federal Institutes. Make Una continue.......

Otti, you dey try!
My brother, Iheanyi Onuigbo is from my village gan gan, Obuohia-ibere in ikwuano. You need to see the front of his house during raining season, na natural swimming pool dey there due to bad road. He's a disgrace to both his community and local government, his tenure as house of rep yielded nothing for his community and that's why he was voted out.

What annoys me is that the previous administration of Muhammadu Buhari awarded this project through the Nnpc tax credit scheme. You need to see the slow and shady job done on that section by the FG contractor. Contrast with the Akwa Ibom axis which is of high quality (although it was built during Akpabio’s administration).
Kudos to the peoples governor Otti for taking over the project. I expect a speedy and quality project.
.. and this is a federal government road... and it's a state government that wants to construct the road..this governor Otti is a good leader with good leadership qualities
Re: Abia: Governor Otti Flags Off Reconstruction Of Umuahia-ikot Ekpene Road by ufotunang: 6:26pm On Oct 25, 2025
That is why I always say try and vote for labour party candidates during election..they have good politicians and leaders with good leadership qualities and they have the passion to provide good governance and better life and better standard of living for Nigerians

i know some people will worship Otti for this flag off of 25km road. More than 90% will not read the cho cho cho cho on the OP. Umahi that showed workings with over 30km completed phase; they scorn him and abuse him daily. Is God not wonderful and merciful?
You don't know how long that road has been in a deplorable state.Don't just talk,without investigating.
Re: Abia: Governor Otti Flags Off Reconstruction Of Umuahia-ikot Ekpene Road by wasuka14(m): 10:33pm On Oct 25, 2025
They are using this road to cash out. Idom Emmanuel equally flagged off this same road 4yrs or so ago. Why now again?

Actually, i know. And all of Nigeria has had different problems for very long. The facts of the hypocrisy remains. Otti is worshipped over a mere flag off while Umahi is scorned after completing something longer. This is not just talk, it's real. Meanwhile, the same road is forever under reconstruction since long time ago. Read the recent one below. Point is, it's not news. We see the kids game played by those hailing Otti

Isn't that road a federal road since the time of Goodluck? Was there no allocation for that road? Why would he Tarr a federal road? Even if you were a minister, you would never use your money to Tarr a federal road, that allocation is given for.

Backward state, see the hype for just flagging of a road construction. And this make him the best governor, the way Otti is being hyped you'll think every road Abia is tarred.
Many state governors are doing a lot better than him but Obidient propaganda will make us believe he's doing wonders because he's the only governor elected on the Obidient platform.
but your Ogun State governor have not done anything concern road are you not ashamed of your Ogun State governor, at all I am for Edo The Abia State governor has done more road that our D7 governor who has not done anything concern the bad road in Edo

This is a welcome development.

Someone should tell me why these governors should not be commended for their performances left, right and centre, courtesy of subsidy removal and enablement from Tinubu who gives them enough allocation for development to go round

I passed through that road about 5 months ago and I really felt for those living on that axis.

I give kudos to Gov. Otti for this and I hope he monitors the contractor to see the project to a timely conclusion and inauguration.

So as a Minister you cannot influence a Federal Road across your LGA, but in less than 11 months, you tarred the very bad end that leads to in front of your compound.

How does this sound?
Re: Abia: Governor Otti Flags Off Reconstruction Of Umuahia-ikot Ekpene Road by SuperEagles: 11:27pm On Oct 26, 2025
Tales by moonlight. So we are not celebrating flags off by Umahi but insult Umahi / Tinubu when they show several KM they have completed.

Na now I say make Nigerians especially those from your state get brain but no sense nor intelligence.

Is that not what he just did? Guy a federal road is long. And cuts across multiple LGAs.

That road cuts across two LGAs, 80% in one LGA. The people I mentioned are from the most affected part. That they have eaten it doesn't mean that if you have an opportunity to fix it, you wouldn't. Nobody said they should use their money.

Were both of them not part of those who partook in the sharing?
