DR. ALEX OTTI'S INFRASTRUCTURE MIRACLES IN ABIA HOMELAND IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. I can vividly remember Dr. Alex Otti's inaugural speeches nearly two years ago where he cautiously said to his highly expectant audience that he wasn't going to promise them any miracles on account of the rot he met on ground but he was going to do his best to rebuild Abia State for the pride of all Abians.

A Rebuttal To Baseless Accusations And Myopic Detractions – By Dr. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

A Rebuttal to Baseless Accusations and Myopic Detractions It is with profound disdain that one must address the specious allegations and febrile invectives hurled against His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti, a leader whose governance is demonstrably anchored in transformative progress rather than the petty politicking of those who mistake cacophony for discourse.

Yet, for the sake of intellectual rigour and the sanctity of factual discourse, a measured demolition of these baseless assertions is warranted. The Empirical Foundation of GovernanceThe…
