People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BoT) Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, has said that the hard work of Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has become so glaring that even the blind can see it.
Wabara, a former President of the Senate who praised the Governor for his good works in the state, urged him to continue with the good work, assuring him of even the support of the ancestors of the state.
Wabara spoke on Sunday, at the International Conference Center, Umuahia, during the 80th Birthday Celebration of the former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) Dr. Godswill Emelike Okoro, who served ín the first tenure of the Immediate past Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu.
Noting that their being on different political party cannot stop him from acknowledging the Governors good work. Wabara stressed that he was a citizen of Abia State before becoming a member of PDP.
He said, “Before becoming a PDP card-carrying member, before becoming an NRC card-carrying Member in this State, I, Adolphus Nduneweh Wabara, was first and foremost a citizen of Abia.
Politics ends after campaigns, after elections and then you start thinking of governance. Even a blind man can see what is happening in Abia! And, I am saying it again! Maybe now since they said I was suspended, they can now expel me. But, having said so, Sir, continue with the works; our ancestors in Abia are with you."
Jokingly, he called on the PDP leadership in the State to go on air the next day to suspend Dr. Emelike Okoro, whom Governor Otti came to celebrate.
The former Senate boss vowed that nobody can suspend him in the PDP for speaking the truth that everyone can see, declaring that he would continue to appreciate Governor Otti for the good works he is doing.
He said, “I be one of those who will continue to appreciate you. I have not mentioned Labour Party; I have always mentioned Governor Alex Otti. We are all with you."
Wabara added that Governor Otti who they never wanted to be Governor is the one recovering the State from the ruins of bad governance.
Corroborating him, the birthday celebrant, Dr. Okoro, confirmed that Governor Otti has brought a breath of fresh air to Abia State.
Okoro commended the Governor for the recent flag of the reconstruction of Onuinyang-Oporoenyi Oboro Road traversing Bende LGA in Abia North Zone of the State and Ikwuano LGA in Abia Central Zone of the State, saying that it will greatly boost the agricultural sector of the State from that corridor.
Dr. Okoro recalled what he told Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe when he came to seek his support for governorship, saying that he told him that he would not back him for governorship and that he should go back to the Senate and remain Nma Agha ndi Igbo (the sword of the Igbos). He said that he was looking for a breath of fresh air.
Facing the Governor, he said, “Alex Otti, you have brought a breath of fresh air," adding that one of the things that amazes him about Governor Otti is his accessibility, saying that he always answers his calls.
