Former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Hallmark Bank and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commended Governor Alex Otti, OFR, for his visible achievements in the State, saying that Abians and Nigerians are very impressed with his performance so far within the period in office.
The financial expert, opinion leader, and influential politician from Ukwa East Local Government Area in Abia South political zone of the State gave the commendation on Sunday, 5th January, while speaking to newsmen shortly after a closed-door meeting with Governor Otti.
Chief Wabara said that his relationship with Governor Alex Otti, OFR, predates politics as they have known themselves right from the banking industry; he said that he came to felicitate with the Governor and his family for the yuletide season.
In his words, “First and foremost, let me say that we had a very good relationship in the banking industry. He was a former Chief Executive of a bank like myself, so we have built that relationship.
“Since I’m resident in Lagos and I came home for the Christmas and New Year, it is usually necessary and important that I come and pay him a courtesy visit and also tell him that the people of Abia and the people of Nigeria are very impressed so far with his performance as the Executive Governor of Abia State”.
Chief Wabara who described Governor Otti as a very Effective Chief Executive right from the time he has known him, said that he has done well in areas of infrastructural development across the State, security, education, etc.
The APC chieftain said that although Governor Otti’s focus for now is finishing his first term and will not want to talk about second term, said that his jobs are already speaking for him and that he’s not in doubt that the people will support him for a second term.
“Even if you are to ask His Excellency about second term, he will say that, for now, he wants to finish his first term. Like I said, his job so far speaks for itself and I have no doubt that for the second term people will support him”, Sir Wabara declared.
Sir Wabara was accompanied on the visit by his wife, Mrs. Iyanagbo Wabara.
