Why I Have Stayed In My Private Residence Since 2023…I’ll Build A Befitting Govt House Next Year- Gov Alex Otti

Governor Alex Otti  disclosed on Saturday that he has been staying in his private residence in Umuehim Nvosi , Isialangwa South Local Government, since becoming the governor of Abia state on May 29, 2023 , because the Government House in Umuahia is in a bad shape.

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned  that Otti disclosed this  in Arochukwu LGA headquarters while inaugurating  projects executed by the Mayor of Arochukwu Local Government, Mr Joe Aru.

The governor said he has not  lived in Government House because of the dilapidated condition of the buildings while promising  to demolish the current structures  in December and come up with a befitting Government House.

‘Today, I am not operating from the Government House in Umuahia because there is no Government House. Everywhere is dilapidated and decayed. The option would have been to use the money I used to pay pensioners to begin to retrofit the Government House. But, I felt that we could operate from anywhere while doing the most important things first.

And I am proud to report that before the end of this year, we are going to break down those dilapidated buildings and put up structures that are befitting for our enlightened people like the Abia people’ he said.

Governor Otti  added that the projects carried out by Mr Joe Aru  are in line with his vision for Abia state, explaining that everything his administration is doing, whether in health, road infrastructure, or other areas, is always of the highest quality.

‘If you look at the projects we are doing, the road projects, the school projects, the healthcare delivery projects, and every other project, they are either done to the best and highest standards, or we won’t do them at all. We didn’t cut corners. I want to say a big thank you to God, particularly for making us to be in a position to serve Him at this time’ he said.

In his speech, the Mayor of Arochukwu said the reconstructions done at the council headquarters were a testament to the unwavering support of the governor.

Aru also recalled that upon assuming office, he found the council headquarters in  a bad shape, which had prompted his efforts to carry out the projects-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
