 "Abia Needs Good Governance, Not Propaganda" – Benjamin Kalu Schools Gov. Otti on Leadership Reality

The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu, has once again spoken truth to power, calling on the Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, to focus on the real essence of governance — transparency, accountability, and measurable development — rather than the endless parade of propaganda and media performances that have now defined his administration.

Kalu’s statement, “Abia needs good governance, not propaganda,” is not just a political jab; it is a wake-up call to a government that has become more obsessed with perception than performance. Since assuming office, the Otti administration has built an empire of social media narratives and public relations gimmicks, while the realities on the ground tell a completely different story.

For months, Abians have endured the widening gap between what they are told and what they see. Grand announcements are made daily — groundbreaking ceremonies here, digital projections there — yet the tangible impact on ordinary Abians remains faint, if not invisible. Pensioners still groan under neglect. Civil servants complain of selective welfare. Local governments operate under silence. And the people who were promised a new dawn are left wondering when the “new” in the New Abia will finally begin.

Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, representing Bende Federal Constituency and serving as Deputy Speaker of the nation’s Green Chamber, has continued to distinguish himself through measurable results — from infrastructure advocacy and constituency empowerment to legislative diplomacy that has put Abia on the global stage. His message to the state government is therefore rooted in credibility, not politics.

In a democracy, accountability is not optional — it is the heartbeat of leadership. Propaganda might win applause online, but only good governance earns enduring trust. Governor Otti must understand that governance is not a stage for daily praise-singing; it is about policies that put food on the table, roads that connect communities, hospitals that function, and local governments that thrive independently.

Benjamin Kalu’s message is simple but powerful: stop the showmanship, start the substance. Abians deserve a government that works, not one that performs.

If truly the goal is to build a new Abia, then it must start with sincerity — not slogans. The people have endured enough noise. It is time for results.

— Written in the spirit of truth, accountability, and the voice of the people.
