It is characters like you who are the enablers of corruption and the copious looting going on in Abia under Otti.
Look at what Peter MBA has achieved during his 3-year tenure, and compare it with the media bombardment and propaganda make-believe for which Abia is famous. Simple.
I carried out an investigation and found out that while a level 14 civil servant in Ebonyi is earning #345,000; Imo=#365,000, ENUGU=#312,000…..per month,
Their counterparts in Abia are paid #112,000.
(What a civil servant receives in Ebonyi in a month is what is paid to 3 persons in Abia)
Rather than dispute this fact, the government has maintained a sealed lip while pervasive poverty continues to spread in Abia. A lot of people are going through the pangs of excruciating poverty in the hands of a government without compassion.
Presently, Otti is the only governor in the South East still owing a backlog of unpaid pension arrears . And there is ongoing discrimination based on which part of Abia you come from.
While Hope Uzodinma doled out #70billion in one fell swoop to clear gratuity arrears, Otti in Abia has never paid any retiree one Kobo as gratuity.
In Abia,we have spent close to #100.billion on Smart schools,yet we haven’t seen the video of just one functioning Smart school anywhere in the state.
Rather the Budget Performance Report indicate
#64 billion for Scientific Research and Development
Billions for Recreational Facilities, Billions for Boundary Pillars, Billions for Improved Agricultural Seedlings, Billions for ICT tech-hubs, Billions for “INFRASTRUCTURE”… just infrastructure…no details. These monies that were withdrawn from our Treasury are yet to be accounted for.
Education should equip us with a decent, critical and courageous mind.
Asking critical questions on behalf of the less informed in society should be the redemptive role of those who are better informed.
I cannot seek popular applause from those who should be enlightened by me.
It is a betrayal of my supposed education.
