The Chief of Staff to Abia State Governor, Pastor Caleb Ajagba has charged Abians to resist the moves being made by members of the opposition parties in the state against Governor Alex Otti, as they are bent on returning Abia to political Egypt.
Pastor Ajagba who gave the charge at Umuezegu Community School, Nsulu in Isiala Ngwa North LGA during an enlarged meeting with the people of Ward 3, Isiala Nsulu, convened by the Chief of Staff to the Governor, described Governor Otti as a visionary leader on a divinely inspired mission to rebuild the state.
Pastor Ajagba, who emphasised that members of the opposition were bent on reversing the gains already made by the Governor Alex Otti led administration, condemned the renewed political opposition activities and attacks against the Governor, and questioned the credibility of those who now claims to have the capacity to govern the state better than the Governor.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor disclosed that the previous administrations failed to fix Abia state for 24 years, but the Otti-led administration has within two years and some months in office achieved remarkable progress that has remained unparalleled.
Pastor Ajagba while explaining that the present administration in the state began from ground zero, confronting infrastructure decay and systemic challenges that could have discouraged less prepared leadership, noted that Governor Otti came prepared and assembled a team driven by passion and competence to reverse years of decline and change the negative narrative about the state.
According to Pastor Ajagba, Governor Alex Otti is on a divine rescue mission, and cannot be derailed by political distractions. He expressed confidence that divine intervention would frustrate any conspiracy against the present administration.
The Chief of Staff to the Governor further thanked his Ward 3, Isiala Nsulu people for their continued support for the present administration and assured that the Governor is committed to delivering more democracy dividends to the people of the State.

The federal lawmaker further thanked the Otti administration’s interventions in key sectors including Health, Education, Security and Transportation, noting that the recent migration of communities in Isiala Ngwa to the Geometrics Power has brought uninterrupted electricity supply to the area, a development that has significantly improved the quality of life of the people.
In their separate speeches, the Commissioner for Works, Engr. Otumchere Oti, the Commissioner for Power and Public Utilities, Engr. Ikechukwu Monday and their Transport counterpart, Dr Chimezie Ukaegbu, said that the Governor Otti-led administration, since assuming office, has embarked on massive road construction and rehabilitation across Abia State.
