The administration’s decision to sack 15,000 civil servants has sparked outrage, particularly among organized labor groups. Complaints have mounted regarding unpaid salaries and unfulfilled wage awards, leading to widespread discontent among workers.
Citizens have criticized the administration for allocating substantial funds to media propaganda rather than tangible development projects. Many accuse Governor Otti of distracting the public with media narratives while failing to deliver significant infrastructural improvements. Notably, the administration has not constructed up to 50 kilometers of roads in over a year, with only a few local government road rehabilitations to show for it.
Governor Otti has been quick to accuse the previous administration of corruption, yet over a year since former Governor Ikpeazu left office, no Nigerian anti-corruption agency has summoned or implicated him in any wrongdoing said Abia civil servant who identified himself as Emmy.
This has led to further skepticism about the current administration’s integrity and focus on governance rather than baseless accusations.
Governor Alex Otti's first-year performance has drawn sharp criticism from citizens and labor groups alike. Issues such as bogus contract costs, mass layoffs, unpaid salaries, and excessive media spending have overshadowed the few achievements in transportation and accountability. Moving forward, addressing these shortcomings through strategic reforms, increased investment, and genuine governance practices will be crucial for regaining public trust and delivering on the promises made to the citizens.
This performance review and public feedback serve as a reflection of the administration’s efforts and a call to action for substantial improvements to ensure effective and transparent governance.
