THE OLD ORDER IS ANGRY BECAUSE ABIA IS FINALLY WORKING
The recent post by Doc Paul Chijindu is not a serious assessment of governance. It is a political campaign statement built around mockery, unrelated photographs and sweeping allegations without verifiable evidence.
Governor Alex Otti, OFR, does not need propaganda to defend his administration. The roads, schools, hospitals, urban-renewal projects, regular salary payments, pension interventions and public-sector reforms are visible across Abia State.
Those who claim that the administration has “little or nothing to offer” should leave social media and visit the completed and ongoing projects across Aba, Umuahia and other parts of the state.
Governance is measured by results—not recycled insults, laughing emojis or manipulated pictures.
Nobody claims that every road, drainage channel, refuse point or community challenge has already been addressed. Development is a continuing process. Where genuine problems exist, citizens should identify the exact locations and demand prompt government intervention.
That is constructive opposition.
However, circulating unpleasant photographs without providing their locations, dates, ownership, contract details or present condition is not accountability. It is an attempt to deceive the public through visual propaganda.
Governor Otti has every right to discuss the failures of previous administrations because the unpaid salaries, pension arrears, abandoned roads, neglected hospitals and weakened institutions inherited by his government did not fall from the sky.
History cannot be erased merely because those responsible are uncomfortable with the comparison.
The demand that Governor Otti should be “sent back to Isialangwa” is equally unfortunate. Isialangwa is an integral part of Abia State—not a place of punishment or banishment.
No Abian should be insulted or disqualified because of his community of origin. The governorship belongs to the entire state, not to any clan, dynasty or political establishment.
The 2027 election will not be decided by bitterness, online mockery or nostalgia for the old order. Abians will compare records, projects, integrity, leadership and delivery.
Let the opposition present a credible alternative programme.
Let them tell Abians which reconstructed roads should have remained abandoned, which pensioners should not have been paid, which schools and hospitals should not have been rehabilitated, and which public institutions should have remained dysfunctional.
Abia welcomes criticism, but criticism must be factual, responsible and constructive.
Governor Alex Otti, OFR, is not beyond scrutiny. But he cannot be defeated with empty propaganda when visible performance has already supplied the answer.
The old order is angry because Abia is finally working.
ABIA IS MOVING FORWARD—AND NO CAMPAIGN OF BITTERNESS WILL DRAG IT BACKWARDS.
