Future of Abia State in the World: A Post LGA Election Dissection (Part 2)
We certainly live in interesting times. Twenty-four hours ago, I published a detailed analysis on how Abia State operates in the international sphere under Governor Otti’s leadership. The article, titled “The Future of Abia State Post LGA Election Dissection Part 1,” generated significant pushback from a particular Abia-based platform.
Some members of this platform claim to speak the truth and have Abia State’s best interests at heart, yet they criticize the government and governor using some times unkind words. Ironically, when I responded in kind, the admin took offense and threatened to remove my humble self🤣.
I told the admin that I owe him no apology and that I will continue to write in support of the government, just as they criticize it without offering a clear path for solutions as responsible critics do. We have different perspectives on the Abia State project, and I believe that’s what makes our discussions valuable.
I promised to follow up with Part 2, and here it is. This series will continue to explore the future of Abia State in the world. Happy reading!

*Abia State’s Transformation: From Post-Creation to a New Era
The period from 1991, when Abia State was created, to April 2023, can be characterized as the post-creation era. However, with the dawn of a new administration in May 2023, Abia State has entered a new phase – the post-post creation era.
He recognizes that this fresh start presents an opportunity for him to foster a rainbow coalition, bringing together diverse groups and interests to build a more united and prosperous Abia State.
