The All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a swipe at Governor Alex Otti of Abia state, saying his government lacked transparency and accountability.

The party also described his administration as a “one-man show” driven by propaganda rather than purpose.

Speaking at the inauguration of the Renewed Hope Partners on Sunday, Abia State APC Chairman, Dr. Kingsley Ononogbu, said a “better and truly new Abia” was still possible under the right leadership.

Ononogbu, in a statement, assured the people and residents of the state of a competent hand devoid of propaganda and a one-man show.

“The inauguration marks the beginning of the journey aimed at repositioning Abia State for the Renewed Hope Crusade, and I believe so because I can see on the faces of everyone here, the search for a truly new Abia State.

“When we read and listen to social media hype and praises, regarding the state of Abia, one often wonders if it is the same Abia State that we live in.

“Abia State today is nothing but a ‘one-man show’ anchored on a very well oiled propaganda machinery. Accountability is long gone. Checks and balances non-existent while conflict of interest is now a norm.

“A government of one-man show from his private home and for selected friends and cronies. A government where the governor operates as the chief executive, chief accountant and the auditor.

“An administration that would prefer to convert a newly built government house to a 5 star hotel, while operating necodemously from his personal house. And for the roads being built newly, the style of collation, scrutiny, and award of the contracts falls below acceptable standard of state (F&GPC) and best practice.”
