WATCH: Alex C. Otti Clashes with Journalist Over “Measurable Impact” at February Media Chat
Journalist Chika Nwabueze QUESTIONS
“Your administration has received praise for visible infrastructure projects and reforms, but critics say that measurable impact, transparency and inclusive governance need improvement.”
“Can you provide verifiable data showing how your policies have directly improved the economic and living conditions of ordinary Abians beyond infrastructural development?”
“Beyond road infrastructure, beyond construction, what positive economic impact can we point to on the living conditions of the average Abian?”
GOVERNOR ALEX OTTI REPLIES
“You have not said anything. Do you live in Abia?”
“The road you use, is it tarred? Do your children pay school fees? But you see children that don’t pay school fees, right?”
“This media chat is a serious media chat. We are not here to massage your opposition.”
“When we throw this open for people to ask questions, it doesn’t mean people should be stupid.”
“If you can’t feel what is happening in this state where you live, then I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”
“That’s not my business. My business is to deliver on my promises.”
“Because roads have been done, accidents have reduced, travel time has reduced, there are electric buses all over the place that are free of charge.”
“There are 200 primary health care centres that were not here before.”
“If you want the governor to sit and tell you the economic impact, then something is wrong.”
“Next time when you are coming to ask a question, prepare very well.”
