Ginger Onwusibe, the representative for the Isiala Ngwa North and South Federal Constituency, has stated that Alex Otti, the governor of Abia State, will not challenge President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term in office.
Onwusibe reportedly made this statement on Sunday at the “Project Switch On Bende” flag-off, which took place at Lohum Umuimenyi in the Bende Local Government Area. Chief Frank Chinasa, the Chief Liaison Officer for Abia State in Abuja, oversaw the project.
The lawmaker pointed out that Tinubu and Otti’s performance in government had won them both a second term.
“What I have said about Mr. President is my personal opinion, and I can tell you that the governor will not oppose Mr. President’s second term bid, and it is the governor in Abia State here that has the capacity to deliver Mr. President,” he declared.
“I started politics in 1999,” Onwusibe continued, highlighting his background in politics. I served as Governor Orji Uzor Kalu’s Special Advisor. Additionally, I held the positions of Local Government chairman and Special Assistant in Governor T.A. Orji’s administration. During Governor Okezie Ikpeazu’s administration, I was a member of the House of Assembly and the chairman of the Local Government.
“I can honestly tell you that Alex Otti has outperformed all of these governors, and as a result, he has earned his second term.”
The leader of the Labour Party also praised Chinasa for helping with the solar lighting project and expressed hope that additional advancements would come if he were granted more political authority.
Chinasa stated in his speech that the initiative’s goals were to increase local security and rebuild popular trust in the government.
He said that in just a few months, 486 solar-powered street lights had been placed in Uzuakoli and Umuimenyi Ward.
“This project is more than just installing solar street lights,” stated Chinasa. The goal is to rebuild trust in the government. It is about making our streets safer for our kids, allowing our vendors to operate late into the night, and reviving a sense of pride and belonging in our neighborhoods.
“Our goal is to make sure that light has an impact on every ward, town, and street in Bende Federal Constituency. Because security exists where there is light. Opportunity exists wherever there is light. And life exists where there is light.
He went on to say that the project is in line with Governor Otti’s development agenda and that it was made possible by the Niger Delta Development Commission’s “Operation Light Up the Niger Delta” initiative.
Additionally, Chinasa called on locals and community leaders to take responsibility for the facilities and protect them.
Johnson Chukwu, the event chairman, and Uwabunkeonye Bassey, the mayor of Bende Local Government Area, both praised Chinasa for bringing the project to the region in separate statements.
“I love good governance, but I’m not a politician,” Chukwu declared. The number of lives one can impact is what counts, regardless of one’s financial situation.
“Our people have respect for Chinasa. He will do more if we grant him governmental authority and he can use his personal connections to provide us with solar light.
