The response of the Abia State emergency unit and the swift action of the fire service in containing the fire 🔥 inferno yesterday is another proof that Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu was a total failure as Abia governor.
IGWE STANLEY OGBONNAYA writes from Abia State, Nigeria.
Dr Alex Chioma Otti has always shown that leadership isn't rocket science. Rather, it's commitment and taking responsibility as at when due.
The fire outbreak that took place at the facility of the Nigerian Breweries was terrible, and if not for the response of the personnel of the fire service, it would have resulted in colossal damage.
Recall in August 2020 during the administration of Dr Okezie VictorI kpeazu, that Shoe Plaza, a unit of the Ariaria International market, was engulfed with a fire outbreak, the personnel of the fire service couldn't respond on time until shops were burnt to ashes.
It took the fire service about 5 hours later to visit the venue after the damages were done, and the angry traders who lost their valuables worth millions attacked the personnel of the fire service, and Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu swiftly shut down the market indefinitely without empathy.
People lost their goods, they are angry too, the government agencies didn't respond on time, yet Dr Okezie was swift to lock down the market for his failure to contain the incident on time, that was Abia reality.
If you sit down and recall a lot of abnormalities that took place during Okezie Ikpeazu, you would really appreciate what Dr. Alex Chioma Otti is currently doing in Abia State.
Thank you, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti for the swift response yesterday, Abians are grateful 🙏 and solidly behind your second term ambition.
AKACHAM.
