* *Did you know that the current Abia government has received in excess of N300billion in total receipts under 11 months?*

*Breakdown of the N300billion received: N160billion total receipts of FAAC and FAAC, excluding monthly IGR. Plus N145billion from loans. N100billion from Access bank and N45billion ftom Union bank= N145billion.
Total receipts N160billion + N145billion= N305billion.

*Did you know that Abia government has not increased workers salary or pay wage award or clear arrears?. Therefore, the argument of inflation doesn't hold water as it is only capital expenditure (contractors with strange contract costs) and recurrent expenditure associated with the Governor (servicing his office and his security vote) that have not stagnated but rather have been jacked-up exponentially.

*Did you know that the total receipts in excess of N300billion received by this Abia government within its 11months, equals 3 years annual budget of the Abia government from 2015 to 2017.?

*Many are yet to understand and appreciate the massive funds available to this government compared to previous administrations; which must be reflected on workers welfare and their salary obligations but remained a mirage till date.

*No inflation variation will make it statistically logical to compare 11-months total receipts of above N300billion with 3 years of previous administration.

● *In 2015, Abia annual budget = N102billion.*
● *2016, Abia annual budget = N96billion.*
● *2017, Abia annual budget = N102billion.*
*(For the entire 3years= N300bliion)* but Otti's government received same amount just under 11-months.

*Flowing from above premise of 11-months revenue of new Abia government = 3 years of previous administration, even with salary and other recurrent expenditure stagnated (except those directly related to the Governor); the present government of Abia state has performed abysmally low in terms of deliverables to Abians in relation to the huge funds at its disposal.

*No single new project has been embarked upon; no fresh road construction from the scratch (only patching of old roads or adding shoulders on both sides of existing roads); no new hospitals built (only repainting and adding wall tiles); no single new building (putting finishing touches on JAAC building or renovation); workers salary stagnated (no promotion, no arrears paid, no wage award added); Local government area councils are nothing to write home about.

Can Abians ask where the total receipts in excess of N300billion received by the new Abia State under 11-months were channelled into?

Keeping it honest....

1. ₦102b in 2015 is worth more than ₦300b today, and cost of living was lower in 2015. The past regimes that had more money and better economy were worse than this regime. Did you sound this way against the past regimes?

2.
There are 36 States in Nigeria. Is Abia State the only one that has received up to the amount in 11 months? Why are you talking about only Abia State?

3.
Did you sound this way against the previous administration? Or, did the administration do better than this administration?

I am not trying to defend any wrong that Abia State government does. I am only trying to be sure that what you are doing is not selective justice. If Otti is stealing public funds, it is very bad. But whoever condemns Otti should also condemn the previous administrations that were obviously worse.

Even the civil servants in Abia State prefer the government to the previous administrations, meaning that the fact that the government you are condemning here has not increased workers' salary does not mean that the government is not working.

100 billion in 2015 is over 700 billion on today's money

Obidient dropping excuses for their PDP relative

[But the governor said he has never borrowed loans how come the 145billion loan in the report
