…Says they’ve not had it this good

Charles Uzondu, president general, Ikwuano Development Union (IDU), Abia State, has applauded Governor Alex Otti, over his giant strides in governance, especially in Ikwuano Local Government Area (LGA).

Uzondu in an emotion-laden letter addressed to Governor Otti, on behalf of Azuiyi Oloko Community in Ikwuano Local Government, thanked the Governor, for establishing a modern Primary Healthcare Centre in the area, as well as equipping it with modern healthcare gadgets.

He explained that the medical centre is equipped with a consulting room, 4-bedroom wards each for male and female, 2-bed room Labour rooms, a pharmacy and a laboratory, with separate conveniences.

The President General of IDU, listed other features of the health centre to include, a kitchen, a store, laboratory equipment, suction pump, an oven, incubator, genotype machine, water bath, auto leaves, sterilizer, wheelchair, a functional borehole, 4.8kva standby generator and solar installation.

He declared that the facility is World Health Organisation (WHO) standard, noting that his people have never had this type of government gifting and dividend of democracy before”.

The PG disclosed that the new PHC was commissioned on October 28, 2025, barely two days after the Governor performed what he described as ” miracle on the Umuahia -Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Road and the Ariam Usaka Ring road.

While assuring the Governor that Azuiyi community, the project host community will effectively patronise, protect and secure it, he reminded the governor that he has written his name in gold.

According to him “You have written your name in gold in Azuiyi, the only community in Ikwuano that has to pass through Isiala Ngwa North and Umuahia South before accessing their LGA headquarters at Isiala Oboro.

“To show the luck you have brought to my community, a bouncing baby girl was delivered at the facility during the commissioning. Be assured Sir that from Azuiyi all the 2027 votes are secured. God bless you.”

It’s worthy of note that outside the over 200 Primary Health Centres being built across the 184 wards of the state, which are impacting the lives of Abians, especially rural dwellers positively, Governor Otti is also investing massively in road infrastructure, education, security, waste management and workers’ welfare.
