Speaking during a media parley in Umuahia on Thursday night, Governor Otti expressed shock that people, including some from Abia State, tried to oppose a project meant to alleviate the suffering of road users.
According to him, he doesn’t understand how people can call themselves patriotic leaders while working against the reconstruction of the road that leads to their father’s house.
He stated that his government’s intervention was key to easing the hardship faced by commuters on the dilapidated federal highway.
