Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has vowed that nothing will distract his administration from delivering dividends of democracy for the welfare and the happiness of people of the state.
This is even as the state’s school enrollment figure has increased by over 100 percent as a result of the recently introduced free education.
Governor Otti made the vow when he received in audience the Abia-born cyclist, Mr. Wisdom Chisom who rode on bicycle from Lagos State to Abia State in honour of the Governor’s visible and impactful achievements across the State in record time.
“We are happy that our people are happy because the essence of government is to make your people happy – that is the welfare of the people. We will continue and will not stop.
“We want to thank our people for the massive support everywhere, not just in Abia, but everywhere that our people are. And, we want to reassure them that nothing will distract us and that we will continue to deliver dividends of democracy to our people.”
Otti encouraged Chisom to keep being a good citizen wherever he finds himself, noting that Abians stand out in anything they are doing wherever they find themselves.
Chisom, who hails from Nunya in Isiukwuato Local Area of the State, had earlier commended the Governor for his numerous achievements
He praised Otti’s administration for presently undertaking the reconstruction of the 11.5 Kilometer Nunya-Eluama Road after being left in a deplorable condition for many years.
“Most times when I go online, I will see things happening, I read them, and I will be like Wow! So, we really have somebody like this in the State. The last time I came to my village, I couldn’t believe it. I was like, is this place really Nunya or is it a new place? I was impressed”, he said.
