They have become deaf and dumb and avoiding the thread.

chopnaira:
Alex Otti, please let the poor breathe.

They celebrated your victory after you defeated PDP.

Okezie Ikpeazu should be jailed for these last minutes employments, he wanted to create crisis in the state!!!

Why wait till he was about to leave the office to employ

This is someone owing workers excessive salaries then still had the gut to do a last minute employment

igwebuike01:

Only those employed in December 2022 were sacked because it was a campaign employment

yarimo:
Court will soon sack him from government house too

I totally agree with Otti on this.
How was the last administration able to employ 7,000peopke?
When they were oweing Doctors, Lecturers, Pensioners e.t.c, for as much as 36 months salary ?
Sure the appointment was a campaign strategy that didn't achieve it's aim.

If na Tinubu now, your views would be different.

You're seeing it now that it's not easy to govern.

Alex Otti is indeed a short man with giant balls.

Very commendable step.

Let them all taste the bitter pill.

Ikpeazu wuruwuru appointees should go work for him in his kerosene sharing business hub.

That is more lucrative than being a civil servant in Abia State.

Alex Otti, Na man u be!
