From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
The Presidential media team currently on tour of protects executed by the Federal and State Government in Abia has lauded Governor Alex Otti for the impressive projects he executed within three years in office.
Speaking after the tour of various federal and state owned projects in Abia by the Renewed Hope Media Team, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, Mr Sunday Dare said it was impressive that Abia state was witnessing great transformation under Governor Otti.
“It is really impressive to see that a state like Abia is experiencing this kind of transformation. From road construction, transportation, of course, housing and other facilities under the span of three years under Dr. Alex Otti.
“Even the electrification project that we saw, 33 kilometres on the Ohafia stretch, the governor is touching on the critical infrastructure necessary for a state like Abia.
“We know that in the past years, Abia has not recognised the kind of advancement needed in terms of infrastructure. Now you have a governor who is touching on the basis, who is working with stakeholders, who is though in his Labour Party, is also working with the federal government”.
Dare appreciated the synergy between Abia state Governor and the federal government, noting that political party differences make no meaning when it comes to governance.
He added that what is rather important is collaboration and noted that the partnership between the Abia state government and the federal government is very impressive and productive.
“So when it comes to governance, it’s about collaboration. When it comes to development of your people, it doesn’t essentially have to wear party colours. Because when you play too much party politics, development suffers and your people suffer.
