Otti’s quality roads make me feel FG not doing good job on Aba- PH highway – Umahi confesses

Steve Oko

Minister of Wotks, David Umahi, has confessed that the high quality of work on some internal roads being undertaken by Gov. Alex Otti in Aba, has made him feel as if the Federal Government is doing a poor job on the Aba- Port Harcourt Expressway.

Umahi who made the confession when he joined Otti to inspect some on-going road projects in Aba, eulogised Otti for his high taste for quality.

Wawa News Global reports that the Minister who was in the Abia to inspect the on-going reconstruction of the dilapidated highway, also commended Otti over his constant pressure on the Federal Government to fix the dual carriage way.

Umahi applauded Otti for his spirited efforts to rebuild road infrastructure in Aba including some federal roads.

He said:”First is to commend the President for this project, it is part of the priority project. You know we have so many projects, but the interest that the Governor of Abia State has shown; he has met with the President several times. He put us on our toes, that’s why we prioritize the project and it’s quite very commendable”.

“And I have also witnessed the roads, incidentally I was told that it is a federal road – the famous Port Harcourt Road. I want to say that I watched the social media and Abia Broke record when Julius Berger was offloading their equipment”.

“I was here in Aba as a young Engineer. I was the project engineer to Ndiegoro flood control. Unfortunately, I have been coming to Aba and nothing much had changed. But this time around, with my brother, my cousin, I still have quite a number of properties here in Abia State, so he is also my Governor”.

“I’m so, so excited. I am an infrastructure person. I am a result-oriented person. We have inspected a lot of projects. I was so enthused that Omuma Road is not only being reconstructed, but it’s being dualized. Nobody believed that Port-Harcourt Road could contain 3 lanes – a carriage way, 6 altogether and the quality of the work.

“I also went to Omuma Road, it’s the same thing, we’ve inspected about four major roads. The SSA to the President sent me a text that he has never seen this quality of infrastructure, I was even jealous as if we are not doing a good job at the Expressway. So, I’m so excited”.

On Ohanku and Obohia Roads, Umahi said:”And this particular roads, Ohanku and Obohia roads that are presently being targeted alongside other roads, used to be a nightmare. And, i used to see on the social media, the excitement of the residents. That’s all we need as leaders. When you are committed, doing what the people wants, God will also be committed to also do your own. Your Children are going to be blessed by God”.

“So, I want to say that Abia People should not be angry because in God’s time he makes all things beautiful. So this is your time, this is God’s time for Abia”.

The former Ebonyi State Governor who wondered how Otti is sourcing the resources for the ongoing massive infrastructural development in Abia, also commended the Commissioner for Works for his commitment and honesty.

He noted that good governance had nothing to do with political party but with individuals.

“I commend you, Your Excellency. Incidentally, you are a man of few words but full of action. We have seen that it is not all about the party but the occupant of that position and so Otti is working, Otti is a gift to Abia people and Nigerians”, Sen. Umahi declared.
