Abia State Governor Alex Otti said at the 90th birthday celebration of Emeritus Professor Benson Oluikpe in Umuahia that his administration is replacing the celebration of thieves, fraudsters and drug barons with recognition of people of integrity and achievement. He argued that outstanding people should be honoured while alive and cited five Abia schoolchildren who won an international competition in Qatar.

He also said the party’s mobilisation team had visited 12 of Ogun’s 20 local government areas and more than 140 of its 236 wards.
