Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, has reacted to growing criticism of his administration, pushing back against claims made by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala regarding ongoing projects in the state.

Otti’s reaction followed comments made by Ogala, who publicly supported Senator Kalu’s assertion that some projects being showcased by the current government were originally executed during his time in office.

In a video that circulated widely on social media, the actress alleged that Governor Otti’s administration was merely refurbishing existing roads rather than delivering new infrastructure.

Addressing the issue at a public event, Governor Otti urged residents of Abia State to remain focused and ignore what he described as deliberate attempts to distract his government.

Otti also reassured his supporters that the progress being recorded under his leadership was purposeful, adding that he believes his government is part of a larger vision that cannot be derailed by criticism.
