According to Alex Otti, the governor of Abia State, it is now the people’s turn to reap the benefits of democracy in his state.

Otti stated that he was on a mission to provide good governance to the general public, not just a select group of wealthy politicians. He made this proclamation at Government House Umuahia while entertaining a delegation of Course 17, Syndicate 2 of the National Institute for Security Studies, Abuja.

He claimed that since democracy was restored in 1999, the politicians in charge of the state’s operations had benefited themselves excessively from the common heritage.

As a demonstration, the governor explained to his audience, his recent decision to eliminate the backlog of pension arrears owed to retirees since 2014, was a demonstration of his passion for the masses, who had been shortchanged by the ruling elite.

He said, “never again shall Abia pensioners be owed their pension.”

He added that he had also directed that they be paid along with workers on the 28th of every month, a directive, he affirmed, had taken effect from April.

“This is the people’s time, politicians have helped themselves enough for the past 24 years”, Otti added.
