Abia Man Urges Gov. Otti To Borrow Former Governors’ Models To Tackle Insecurity

Popular Abia-born journalist and online publisher Ifeanyi Okali has called on the state governor, Dr. Alex Otti, to engage his predecessors and devise measures to solve the state’s growing challenges.

In an open letter to the governor on Thursday, Okali decried the threat of insecurity in various parts of the state which he said has affected economic activities.

“I’m writing to you today as a concerned citizen of Abia State, urging you to prioritize the security of our great state. While you’ve made significant strides in other areas, security remains the cornerstone of progress. No city thrives under insecurity, and we must tackle this challenge head-on”, he noted.

He therefore advised that Otti’s predecessors, including Sen. Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, Sen. Theodore Orji, and Okezie Ikpeazu, and other stakeholders should be invited for a meeting so that workable measures are adopted to reduce security threats in the state.

“I recommend putting aside party and individual differences and meeting with former Governors of the state to adopt some of the effective measures they implemented during their tenure (nobody knows all). By building upon past successes, we can curb the current security threats plaguing our state.

“It’s crucial that media aides and government officials – new and old Abia refrain from politicizing security issues. Assigning blame amidst incessant security threats is a misplaced priority. Every Abian life matters, regardless of party affiliation or background.

“Let’s work together to ensure Abia State becomes a beacon of peace and prosperity. I believe that under your leadership, we can overcome these challenges and create a safer, more secure environment for all Abians”, he noted.
