I’m Happy With What is Happening in Abia Today Under Governor Otti, APC Chieftain, Prince BB Apugo Declares.
A National Board of Trustees (BOT) Member and member of the National Caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC), from Abia state, Prince BB Apugo has poured encomium on the Governor of Abia State, His Excellency, Dr. Alex Otti over his giant strides in the governance of the state.
Prince Apugo spoke during a private visit to the Governor at his home in Nvosi, Isialangwa LGA of the state.
The APC chieftain who publicly declared his stand during the election and supported Governor Otti, expressed joy that Governor Otti’s performance has vindicated him, and expressed confidence that the Abia Chief Executive would record more positive results in the governance of the state, restating his position that he (Prince Apugo) is more interested in governance and performance, than partisanship.
“My party does not mean anything to me, I am a chieftain of the APC. My concern is my state. Today, I am happy about what is happening in my state.
“Before Governor Otti won the election, I told Abia people to vote for him, not minding the position I am holding in my party.
“I never bothered about the (governorship) candidate of the APC. We had none. I told Abia people that this man (Governor Otti) will bring us back to life. That’s what I told them, and all of them listened to me. And what I said that time, it’s no longer myself alone now that is saying it. Everybody is saying that Abia has come to stay,” the statesman submitted.
He regretted the alleged looting of the state by previous governments, and expressed joy that Governor Otti has done what he (Apugo) expected from him and would do much more.
