Alex Otti’s administration reacts to the Toyota vehicle outrage

The Governor of Abia state, Alex Otti who came under criticism yesterday for purchasing fleet of Toyota vehicles for the security operatives in Abia state.

Most Nigerians were of the opinion that Innoson, Nord and other Indigenous car manufacturing companies should have been prioritized.

However, The Government of Abia state deemed it necessary to come online to explain to the good people of Abia state and well meaning Nigerians the reason behind their actions.

We appreciate the feedback; especially as most commenters are coming from a place of love for country and support for the Alex Otti administration.

THE FACTS

The administration appreciates, more than anyone else, the need to patronize locally made goods. And this was why we had, upon assuming office, ordered more than 50 units of cars from the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing company. We currently have 20 unmet orders.

As we talk, some commissioners do not even have official vehicles. The Governor’s official car is yet to be delivered. He still uses his private cars as a sitting governor.

The military service commanders in Abia needed trucks for immediate take-off of the special operation and, unfortunately, Innoson had no such vehicles in stock. The government could not delay the operation as it places premium on the lives and property of all Abians.

We are, first and foremost, interested in stemming insecurity in the state, and we want to do it quickly. We were constrained by time and had to go for what was readily available. This does not foreclose any prospect of future transactions with Innoson or any other local brand.

Finally, we are open to honest feedback such as the one we have had in the last two days. We will always listen and respond. And even if we disagree with your perspective, we will still respond.

Thank you.

You see, to be a great leader, you must be a good listener…. Alex Otti has shown all it takes to be a good leader. 

Did you notice how his SA explained this… Some others would start with an attack to the people… Call them “headless mob”….. The people must not always be correct but the manner of which the Government explains sends a lot of signal…. 

God bless Alex Otti.. May he succeed…. May Nigeria succeed..
