ADC Candidate Kalu Kalu Challenges Otti on Ohafia Projects

Kalu Kalu, the Abia State governorship candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), publicly challenged Governor Alex Otti to identify a single project executed by his administration in Ohafia Local Government Area. Speaking on Arise TV’s The Morning Show, Kalu, a native of Ohafia, stated that the local government had received over N16 billion in allocations over the past three and a half years without any visible projects.

He asserted that if Otti or his representatives could point to even one project, he would withdraw from the 2027 governorship race. Kalu also expressed concerns regarding the prolonged lack of electricity in Ohafia, claiming that the area had not seen public power supply for nearly a decade.

In contrast, the Abia State Government has records of infrastructure projects in Ohafia, including the commissioning of a 22.5-kilometre reconstructed section of the Abiriba-Ohafia Highway in May 2026, which was part of Otti's third anniversary in office.
