Video of residents Jubilating in Umuola community in Etche LGA of Rivers state as Aba Power connects them to power after 20 years of blackout.

Alex Otti connects light to abandoned Igbo community in Rivers state. Umuora is one of Igbo communities in Eteche LGA Rivers state. For past 20 years they don't have electricity until governor Otti gave order to connect the community to Aba power supply.

There should be a boundary adjustment to allow every ethnic group to decide where they want to stay.. Enough of this nonsense..

Why would someone stay without electricity for 20 years, yet we keep preaching unity that does not exist..?

This similar issue happened few years ago where Okowa had to go to Edo state to grade road for Igbanke people of Edo state.. Edo state government neglected them for years because they have refused to change their identity, until Okowa had to do the needful..

A governor of a state should be a governor for all, irrespective of their beliefs and ethnicity, not a governor of only particular group of people.

Tomorrow..El Yekini supporters will say IGBO people are annexing.

IGBOs bring value. All the years Wike was Governor he never thought of them. Now it's the same IGBO people they are sponsored to hate is giving them light after years of neglect.

Otti...the Unifier.

Yarimo viewed the thread and ran away

Otti the People's Governor extending love and good governance to our brothers in Rivers State




In 2023 Tinupoo vowed and said to Nigerians that they should not return him if he fails to provide steady electricity to the country... Nigerians should hold him by his words, if he even believed his own words though

You mean 20 freaking years of total darkness

i will be relocating to aba soon

Well done President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

👏 👏 👏

I love this. If possible all Igbo clans should be connected irrespective of state. Then other southern minorities. After all, Ndigbo and these southern minorities have suffered the most neglect in Nigeria despite being the wealthy region of the country.

God bless Alex Otti. What Wike couldn't do Otti did it effortlessly

Nigeria is a crime scene

Quite embarrassing. Even with the amount that comes from oil revenue, River State couldn't do this for her people.

Silent achiever. The people's governor. Carry go my brother. Nothing do you!

I stayed 1wk during the yuletide in Aba, light no blink.

Otti is proof that Nigeria only needs good governance to be the greatest nation

Seriously 😳








A whole billionaire community is just getting connected to electricity?



Tell me it's a lie 🤥

And their stupid local government chairman will be mimicking wike dancing style without having a meaningful developmental impact on his people

Abia and rivers are the only sub igbo clan..enyetu ikpeazu enyetu wike.

Now enyetu Otti enyetu Sim fubara.

God bless Ngwaland God bless Ikwereland.

God bless Abians

God bless rivers people.

God bless Otti.

God bless Nigeria.

Twenty years without light.
In oil-rich Rivers state.
Just think of it!
And we dey get mouth dey banter other countries.

Good one. Our neighbors in the east understand human conditions and work to improve them.

Sometimes I wish Edo has no other neighbors except the Igbo nation.

Very very deep indeed.

Were they really abandoned?

How do you know they've willingly accepted to be identify as Igbo.

Although I know many Igbo communities in Rivers state that are afraid of accepting their identity out of fear of segregation and marginalisation.

After eight years of Wike

Etche got steady light from Aba


Chai...

Wike should just resign
what an embarrassment

Tell me it's a lie 🤥

Lol, go school u no gree. You say school na scam. Now see as u dey disgrace urself for public.

God bless Alex Otti. What Wike couldn't do Otti did it effortlessly

Dr.Alex Otti is a highly performing governor. He simplifies governance.

Nice one Otti.

Now extend it to kwara and osun villages.

Many of them never see light for 100yrs

Wike is a fraud na. Dude was only building center tables in Portharcourt and calling live bands to soothe his ego.

Most of the other LGAs benefited little to nothing from Wike.

Arrogant Wike as Governor would rather have all of Rivers in darkness than give his people light from Abia State of the opposition party

Shame on Wike.

Bravo, Fubara.

Please, cut them off let them enjoy their wike

ARE ETCHE PEOPLE NOT ABIANS?


THE CONFUSION OF NIGERIA IS FUNNY.

Chai, many Nigerian politicians are wicked.

Flangelo12:
Well done President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

👏 👏 👏

What did he do? Was it his initiative?
Attributing sincere, hardworking and empathetic people's work to Tinubu is a ridiculous thing to do!

Over 60% of Fashola's ideas, efforts and executions are being attributed to Tinubu with the excuse that it was his "master plan"
Meanwhile, he had 8 solid years to execute his "master plan" but didn't.


Now, thank His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti.

A new lease of life for the community.
