πŸ›‘ State & LGA Revenue: ₦1.46 Trillion (excluding LGA IGR)

πŸ›‘ Purchase of vehicles: – ₦10.23bn

πŸ›‘ Maintenance of cars: – ₦870.16m

πŸ›‘ Fuelling of vehicles: – ₦2.05bn

πŸ›‘ Travel costs: – ₦4.21bn

πŸ›‘ Transport allowance: – ₦2.19bn

Yes, you saw it – Over N10bn purchased for his office, N2.05bn for fuelling his vehicles in 2.5 years, N870m for maintaining the new cars, N4.2bn on β€˜transport costs’ and N2.2bn for transport allowance in his office.

By Abia’s own published financial reports, Governor Alex C. Otti has burnt roughly ₦20bn on hIS transportation costs in just 2.5 years, yet we’re told to clap for β€œNew Abia” and insult anyone who asks questions.

This is the same governor who works from home / uses his house as an office, but still spends like Abia is running a private airline and a luxury motorcade company.

Let’s do the simple math: ₦20bn in 2.5 years is over ₦20m per day on transport.
How do you defend that in a state where schools are still struggling, roads are collapsing, and β€œsmart schools” are mostly talk?

And before anyone starts shouting at citizens for asking questions: this ₦20bn doesn’t even include:

Security Vote: ₦7.26bn

Running the Governor’s Office: ₦16.42bn

So when people say, β€œThis is the most corrupt regime we’ve seen,” you don’t refute with facts, you attack the messenger.

Worse still, the reports also show over ₦10bn allegedly spent on vehicles for the governor’s office, yet many people say they can’t even see these vehicles on ground in Abia.

If this is β€œprudence,” then what is recklessness?

Abians, stop behaving like questioning your own money is a crime.
A government that respects you should not fear scrutiny.

Because at this rate… we can only pray Abia survives this regime.

Where does he travel to?

Governor Alex C. Otti appears to have spent more on running his office than the N117bn he spent on paying Abia Civil Servants and retirees!
