Dr Alex Otti is a very lucky governor,

Just as his name implies "CHI-OMA" he has a benevolent God

The Aba Integrated Power Project (AIPP) was initiated in 2013 under the then Governor TA Orji,

Ochendo provided the investment ambiance, approved and constructed the access road to the project site, and gave tax holidays within the neighbourhood of 500 million Naira to enable Geometrics Power Plant the smooth take-off of the first indigenous power generating plant in Nigeria.

Shortly after Emeka Offor took up fights with Prof Barth Nnaji's Geometrics Power Ltd for acquiring the Aba ringed fence the fight stalled the project.

In 2015 Ikpeazu took over, he understands the importance of power in driving industrialization and SME development, and he knows that if AIPP functions optimally his vision of industrializing Aba would have received a very big push, he intervened and worked very hard, investing time, energy, and resources to untie all the knotty issues surrounding the contractual disagreements involving Enugu Disco and Geometrics that had stalled the operations of Geometrics and hindered the realization of the AIPP.

His administration invested 5m USD giving the state access to 5% ownership of the power project and also assisted Geometrics to secure funding for the project through AFREXIM BANK, today Ikpeazus's time was up and he had to vacate the seat and leave the remaining part of the job for another governor.

Just like the historic AfDB Loan Of USD 263m, the Otti administration is benefitting from and being used to carry out the development of key road infrastructure across the state, the processing of that facility started during Governor TA Orji's era, it was under Gov. Ikpeazu that the state paid the counterpart funding and followed up with all the processes and also fought very hard to resolve the human-induced bureaucratic bottlenecks which the current Governor Dr. Otti, admitted to have made efforts at stopping the state from accessing the loan but today he is the beneficiary.

Governor Otti, within a short period of 9-10 months as governor is commissioning the first Independent power project in Nigeria. what a lucky governor!

I must admit, Governor Otti is lucky, the past administrations laid the foundation and set the platform upon which he is excelling

The gullible Social media community who doesn't know that power is on the exclusive list is celebrating him for being the only governor who built a power-generating plant in his state.

Abegooo Ndi Sosha Midia, to build a Power Generating Plant takes time and cannot be built in 8 months.
He is enjoying all the media glitz and taking the entire glory by giving a little touch to the infrastructures built by his predecessors.

His supporters are celebrating him for mounting solar streetlights and patching the roads constructed by his predecessors.

He has repainted the flyover built by the Ikpeazu administration and he is being hailed and praised for it.

He understands the use of media and his media support base is large, his Chi is very benevolent, and has his palm kernel cracked.

My Govo don't take all the shine alone, in the spirit of fairness abeg give small credit to those who deserve it.

But what is more important is that Aba now has light.

Who will call this man an overnight messiah tomorrow?

You don't need to chase clout with people's birthdays and crisis to score cheap political points when your record is nothing to write home about.

Tomorrow Alex Otti's record will speak for him and I pray posterity favours him. I wish we can field him and Zulum and we will get the Nigeria we've always craved for

If not the power plant what other projects did those 3 governor's did over 24 years of their mismanagement of Abia fund.

PDP is just looking for a way to rope themselves into this project.

😂😂😂

Kudos to late president YAR'ADUA and Prof NNAJI

So you can't different between

FLAG OFF and COMMISSION.

Listen to Otti's testimony how his interventions made the project a reality

Please you need to update your knowledge.

Power is no longer on the exclusive list.

Besides, Alex Otti isn't paying any media people to do any work for him. I tell people that in this age and time when everyone is on social media and has access to smart phones, if a governor starts doing well, he turns everyone in his state into vloggers!
