It simply combines: one flooded location an unexplained ₦1.8 trillion figure a sweeping attack on every road in Abia That is propaganda by exaggeration. Flooding at Ovom Road deserves urgent inspection, drainage clearance and corrective action. But responsible criticism must identify the exact road, contractor, project status,…
