Obasanjo Unveils 46.36km Reconstructed Abia Road, Hails Otti
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has praised Governor Alex Otti of Abia State, describing him as a "miracle worker" and an exemplary leader. This commendation came during the inauguration of the reconstructed 46.3-kilometer Umuahia-Uzuakoli-Akara-Alayi-Abiriba road in Abia State.
The road, previously in a deplorable state, has been a significant challenge for commuters and businesses in the region. Governor Otti's administration undertook the reconstruction project, which has not only improved the road's condition but also reduced travel time, enhanced security, and lowered transportation costs.
During the ceremony, Obasanjo recounted his previous struggles on the road, stating, "When I traveled to Abiriba, it was hellish. And when I learned that this new road would get me from Umuahia to Abiriba in just 45 minutes, I knew that Governor Alex Otti is a miracle worker." He commended Otti's commitment to sound governance and his ability to assemble a strong team.
Obasanjo emphasized the importance of visionary leadership, urging citizens to support leaders who prioritize good governance. He advised the people of Abia not to "change a winning horse" when the time for elections arrives, highlighting Otti's quality as a leader.
The reconstructed road is expected to have a significant impact on the local economy, boosting agricultural productivity and economic activities in the region. Governor Otti noted that the project has not only shortened travel time but also reduced the risk of accidents and security threats.
The project has several benefits, including reduced travel time, enhanced security, lower transportation costs, and a boost to the local economy. Governor Otti emphasized his administration's commitment to delivering quality projects and eliminating corruption. He stated, "Today's commissioning ceremony is an eloquent testimony to our resolve to doing things differently as a government. This administration has zero tolerance for shoddy jobs or the kickback culture that enables them."
The inauguration of the reconstructed Abia road marks a significant milestone in Governor Otti's administration. Obasanjo's praise for Otti's leadership and vision underscores the importance of effective governance in driving development. As the people of Abia State look to the future, the impact of this project will likely be felt for years to come.
