Chief Idika also disputed the claim made by the media office of Governor Alex Otti regarding the road’s length, stating that the distance between Ohafia and Arochukwu is approximately 27 to 30 kilometers, not 41 kilometers as claimed.

The Ohafia chief commended Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for his significant contributions to infrastructural development in Abia North, describing him as one of the finest senators in terms of quality representation and infrastructural development.

Chief Idika emphasized the importance of giving credit where it is due and called for collaboration among governments to make Abia State an exemplary state. He noted that no administration can fulfill 100% of society’s needs, likening administrations to passing soldiers, while the state remains.

With this clarification, Chief Fred Idika has provided a detailed account of the Ohafia-Arochukwu roads, setting the record straight and promoting a collaborative approach to development in Abia State.
