A pastor in Assemblies of God Church Nigeria, Dr John Amah has written an open letter to Abia State Governor Alex Otti, thanking him for his achievements in just two years in office.
Amah while describing Otti’s performance as unparalleled, said the governor’s achievements have reassured the common man that there is still hope in governance, reports Daily Independent.
In a letter he titled, “Thank you His Excellency, Dr Alex Otti, The Listening Governor” and made available to journalists in Umuahia, the clergyman, praised the tireless efforts of the governor in transforming Abia State, describing his leadership of the state as outstanding and uncommon.
“I particularly acknowledge your bold and visionary decision to flag off the construction of the Ohafia–Arochukwu Road, a major road that had remained in deplorable condition for decades.
“Although this road falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government, you choose not to hide behind bureaucracy but instead took responsibility for the well-being of your people.
“That singular act demonstrated your uncommon sense of duty, responsibility, and leadership,” he declared.
He noted with joy that the appeal he made to Otti through his representative at the burial of the former Mayor of Osisioma Ngwa LGA, Engr. Israel Nweke, which was for the governor to mandate the contractor handling the road to get back to site was heeded to.
“Before delivering the message that day, I humbly informed your representative that I had been told the contractors had left the construction site. I pleaded, with the little influence I have as a preacher in Assemblies of God, that they should be asked to return to site.
“To my utmost joy and amazement, Your Excellency responded with swift and decisive action. Today, the contractors are back on the site, and the work has resumed. That, Sir, is what we call responsive leadership”, Amah said.
Dr John Amah whose younger brother, Abraham Amah is the Abia State Chairman of PDP informed that Otti has capacity in governance as he has listened to the voice of the people.
The man of God, who thanked the governor for making the people proud, prayed to the Almighty God, who placed the scepter of governance in his hands, to continue to uphold and guide.
“May the Lord who enthroned you preserve your throne. You shall not fall, and your light shall not go dim. You will finish well and finish strong.
“Wisdom beyond your peers is your portion. You shall continue to operate with clarity of vision, sound judgment, and divine strategy.
“Every hand lifted against your leadership shall be confounded. Those who plot your downfall shall stumble and fall before your rising.
“May your government experience supernatural acceleration. What takes others years, may it take you months. What seems impossible, may it become your everyday testimony.
“The peace of God shall rest upon Abia State under your leadership. Violence shall be far from your gates; prosperity shall overflow in the land.
“Your legacy shall be generational. Long after you’ve left office, the works of your hands will still speak in Abia State and beyond. Your family is shielded from every form of attack, scandal, or shame. Your wife shall be a crown upon your head, and your children shall be mighty in the land.
“May heaven continually back you up. As you listen to the cry of the common man, so shall heaven listen to your own prayers. You shall never lack the right men and women, helpers of destiny, counsellors, advisors, and implementers who will help you carry out your divine assignment.
“Your second term shall not be a struggle. If the Lord tarries, and it is His will, He will grant you the favour of continuity and legacy completion” he prayed.
