I will not celebrate mediocrity and corruption


If you have set such a low bar in governance , then celebrate your mediocrity on your own .

I am pissed because I see your fellow obidient propagandists here saying Otti is the best governor in Nigeria were this is totally false.

He might be the best thing to happen to.that your worst governed state since 1999 but he is in no way the best governor in Nigeria.

If anything , he is dragging position with the last 3 disasters that have governed Abia state.

No provision for security

DaniDani:
See marginalisation, no key project in Ngwa, road a to c, Abia north, Otti remove your masks and stop pretending to come from isialangwa, it no more hidden

All the things he has been doing in Aba nko? Abi Aba no follow for Ngwa again?

You've never been to any state outside your place of birth. So, shut it

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. As they say in the local palace that one man's food is another man's poison. Gov Otti may be the best governor to some people and at the same time, he may be the worst governor to others. It's their opinion.
You that have set very high bars for your self, can you boldly say that the government at the center under the watch of Emilokan is operating on your high bar? Under the Emilokan government, the country is now known as a now disgraced country internationally. Under the same government, a Canadian court called the major political parties in Nigeria a terrorist organization.
So if you want to talk about setting a high standard in Nigeria, start from the Tinubu presidency which is the head, then that same standard will spread to other levels of government in the country.
I rest my case.

Is it dash? Are other states not receiving?
Oga it's not favor.

DomPerignon:
The governor projected revenue of N83.2 billion from FAAC, N67.1 billion from VAT, N26.5 billion from grants and aid, and N168 billion from other federal channels. Combined internal and external revenue for 2026 is estimated at N607.2 billion, leaving a deficit of N409 billion (40% of the budget), which Otti said will be financed through concessional loans. “We shall borrow only when necessary, and such funds will be deployed exclusively for projects capable of repaying themselves in the medium to long term,” he said.

The entire capital expenditure is from Federal handouts and loans guaranteed by same FG.

And tomorrow their people will come here and say they are being marginalised despite their states being a welfare state hooked to the FG.

yarimo:
All this breakdown is just for the media, after this media show nothing again in reality from that budget. Abians are tired with Alex otti poor leadership in reality.

They are paid. They're just doing their job. They try to tilt public opinion to their favour. We know.

U09ce:
Talk about wetin you know. Abia is just one state out of 36.

have u ever seen any state with such a budget breakdown?
it makes it very possible and easy to hold govt accountable.
i am from Edo and i have been following Politics close to 2 decades now and i can tell you, this is the best and most transparent budget so far in Nigeria since 1999 at least

lolz
they are not the only state na
Otti seem to be putting theirs into good use
ask your state governor what he is doing with us or keep quiet just as i am keep quiet in Edo and celebrating Otti

DomPerignon:
A budget that relies on federal handouts and federal guarranteed debt is what you are praising.

Compare the IGR projected income to federal allocations and tell me why we should not refer to Abia as a hopeless welfare state dependent on FG handouts.

Abia sends more he the centre in form of oil and gas earnings than it receives back

Liar.

Abia, Anambra and Imo oil and gas output combined no reach wetin Edo produces.

Even Ondo state produces more than Imo which is the highest oil producer in the SE.

If 1-6 can be achieved then the rest would have already be accomplished. Na health and education be the Koko for any nation that wants to grow

Wait so you are saying i should discourage someone who is trying, so that someonewho has a track record of doing nothing should become the governor? If having a low bar means work gets done then hell yeah lets dance as peoplewith low bar

Show us what he did this past 2ys.

A governor that has only completed 20km.of roads across the state at a whopping #6bn with no investment in education , healthcare and other much needed social amnesties.

A governor that has denied local government councils across the state their revenue after forcing his stooges to sign a document that all LGA funds will be channeled in a consolidated account controlled by the state government.

Show us his achievements these last 2 ys if you can and stop sounding emotionally deranged as usual.

Are you aware that Abia civil servants both in the state and local government level are still paying the old minimum wage of 18k passed by Jonathan with no plans to even pay that of 30k approved by Buhari talk more of Tinubu's 70k?

He is even owing pensioners their gratuity and pensions and civil servants are not even paid any annual increment .

Even NLC had to complain about the wickedness of this dwarf.

So here he is getting 5 times in naira terms what his predecessors got but spending over 6 tikes his counterparts in other states spend on road construction without a care in improving the welfare of civil servants or improving in public schools and hospitals.

As I said, show me just one of his achievements in office outside his legacy 800m urban lane roads he constructs at #6bn a km

How is it federal hand outs don't you know the federal allocations is coming from proceeds from abia oil and gas? If you really want to know who are really the leeches in nigeria tell ur leaders to divide or restructure nigeria and see the real parasites.

Arrant nonsense.

How many barrels does Abia produce?

Even VAT allocation to Abia is higher than whatever oil revenue , the FG earns from their JVs.

Abia is a net loss to the FG.

Sensible people can only take ur arguments serious when nigeria is either divided or restructured that's only when we will finally know who are actually depending on federal VATs for survival and those using nigeria's chaotic politics and structure to develop their regions and systematically suppressing the development of others thereby making them look like they are not actually economically viable regions.
