Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has berated some members of the opposition in the state, denying his administration the credit for achievements because he is not a member of their party.
Bellnews reports that Otti who was speaking at a reception organized for Attorney-General of Abia State, Ikechukwu Uwanna, SAN, at Isuikwuato on Saturday, said true Igbos are not known for being dishonest.
He said those crediting the roads he constructed to other administrations should have their identity checked to determine if they are truly Igbos.
Otti maintained that his administration is focused on doing more work for the people of the state, and it is the only means of responding to criticism from the opposition.
Governor Otti further alleged that members of the opposition are inundating the Abia public with lies against his administration, especially regarding ongoing and completed projects.
He said, “You cannot see a road that was done, and you say it wasn’t done. You cannot see a road that somebody did, and you credit it to somebody else. If you do that, you are not an Igbo man.
“But for us, we don’t even want to respond. Our response is more work. One thing you can be sure of is that this is your government,” Otti said in an address at the event.”
Otti also thanked an All Progressives Congress (APC), chieftain cum former Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Uche Ogah, for declaring his support for his administration’s achievements in the state.
He further described Abia State Attorney-General, Ikechukwu Uwanna, as an important pillar of his administration.
