Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D
The Governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, has received yet another glowing endorsement, this time from the Catholic Bishop of Aba Diocese, Most Rev. (Prof.) Augustine Ndubueze Echema. Bishop Echema’s declaration that Governor Otti’s good works will speak for him and campaign for him underscores the profound impact of his administration’s policies and projects on Abians.
Describing Governor Otti’s governance as “good, easy, and effective,” Bishop Echema cited the transformation of Aba city, particularly the construction of roads like the Port Harcourt Road, which has revitalized the area. The Bishop’s assertion, “Nobody can challenge you because the good works on ground will speak,” resonated deeply with the congregation, eliciting a resounding “amen.”
This endorsement is part of a growing chorus of praise for Governor Otti’s leadership. His achievements and model of governance have drawn commendations from prominent Nigerians, including former Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, as well as notable Abians from various political backgrounds.
Governor Otti’s distinguishing attributes include his devout faithfulness to God and unwavering commitment to accountability. He consistently expresses gratitude to God through worship and praise, acknowledging divine grace. This spiritual foundation informs his governance, where he remains dedicated to the social contract with Abians, ensuring transparent and accountable management of public resources.
The Governor’s healthcare initiatives are particularly noteworthy. He has announced plans for a world-class medical village in Isiala Ngwa South LGA to address various health needs locally, reducing reliance on foreign medical services. Furthermore, under “Project Ekwueme,” 200 Primary Healthcare Centers are being renovated and retrofitted, with plans to expand this initiative to more facilities.
In essence, Governor Otti’s divine testimony and endorsement reflect his administration’s tangible impact on Abians’ lives. His commitment to good governance, faithfulness to God, and accountability has garnered widespread acclaim. As Bishop Echema aptly noted, “No Jupiter, no evil can ever come your way” because the good works on ground will speak for themselves.
