An ex – while Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Peter Fayose, has toured some project sites of the Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, and lauded his achievements across the state within 2 years in office.
The former Governor, who had visited Governor Otti in his Nvosi country home, Isialangwa South LGA, decided to embark on the project tours in Umuahia and Aba, including rehabilitated roads, smart schools, and primary healthcare centers.
Addressing news men, Monday, after the tour, the former Governor lauded the zeal and commitment of the Otti-led administration to improve the lives of ordinary citizens in the state. He described his performance as impressive and impactful, especially in key areas of the economy, including road infrastructure, healthcare, and education, among others.
“The Governor is doing well for the ordinary Abian, improving the quality of life and bringing them close to civility, so I am more than impressed with what I saw.
“I have physically gone round, because the governor insisted that I must see, because he wants a sincere opinion. And that put me to the point that I was at the state capital, Umuahia, where I saw things for myself.
“I was also able to see some of the community maternity health care centres.
In all sectors, we have seen, and it is quite impressive.
“I am not really for flattery, but in two years, I can say a pass mark to a government that has shown so much zeal,” Fayose stated.
Fayose, who also inspected several road projects in Aba, including the long-abandoned Port Harcourt Road, which has now been reconstructed into a dual carriageway, said that the provision of the dual carriageway by the Governor to the commercial city of Aba is highly commendable.
Former Governor Ayodele Fayose further spoke particularly on the innovative education projects,
“The most heartwarming, the one I love the most, is the smart school. I was able to sit down and take in this concept and I’m equally going to share it with my Governor.
“Building a school by walls is the easiest things to do but making it smart in terms of knowledge for the children is the icing on the cake. The Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, has done well. He has done very well with the reform,” Fayose stated.
Mr. Fayose, who encouraged the Governor to remain focused and sustain his achievements, called on Abians and residents to sustain their support for the Governor to continue in his mandate of giving the people dividends of democracy.
“There is a great man in Abia State. He is a fantastic character. I’ve known him for a while, Otti has moved on and he’s still giving the best.
“He is committed to work. He needs the support of Abians to continue to do good works. And what I am saying here is that I recommend Otti to Abians because of his good works”, Fayose said.
