A former Executive Secretary of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority, NALDA, and an All Progressives Congress chieftain, Paul Ikonne, has asked Abia State Governor, Alex Otti to apologize immediately for his outburst at a journalist.
Ikonne made this demand in a statement by his spokesperson, Chiagoziem Enoch, on Sunday.
DAILY POST reports that at a recent media briefing, Governor Otti lashed out at a journalist who demanded accountability on his reforms in the state.
Otti’s outburst has stirred reaction among Nigerians, including Arise TV anchor Rufai Oseni, who condemned the action.

“Governance is not about rhetoric; it is about measurable outcomes.

“Governor Otti must apologize immediately,” he stated.… See more
Favor As Higher Power?
(The hidden truth)
Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
