A stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Chief Ndubuisi Emeh, has accused the governor of the state, Dr. Alex Otti of deceiving the people of the state with the recent flag-off of the 41.2klm Ohafia-Arochukwu Expressway.
Speaking with ABN TV on the sideline of the Ohafia North stakeholders meeting of APC on Saturday, Chief Ndubuisi said the project had already been flagged off by the immediate past administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that the claim by the state government is false.
He said the road could not be flagged off twice, advising the governor to instead find out why the pace of work is slow and not to claim to have flagged off the road already being handled by another contractor.
The APC stalwart challenged the governor to demonstrate his eagerness to transform Abia infrastructure by focusing on other roads, other than one already being handled by the federal government.
“Abians were crying, saying they’re looking for a messiah or angel, or whatever thing they can call who they were expecting. The man has come now, Abians have started crying again“, he said.
He criticised the governor for not initiating his own projects afresh so that he could earn commendation from the people of the state instead of flagging off a project already being handled.
