Otti lies on $100b facility to develop an industrial park in Aba

It is awful that Alex Otti has become a terrific liar we ever saw in the history of Abia State. If the people of Abia State see him entering a brothel and ask him, you see him divert attention that he was going to the museum. This is what Otti has turned out to become in his quest for power.

His blatant zest for power has made him to be lying per minute that we have seen any liar in our lives. The recent one was that he told newsmen that he had secured $100b facility to develop an industrial park in Aba.

This lie was heralded all over the traditional, social, electronic media and nearly misled a lot of Abia people if not that we intervened and enlightened the people on the true story of the lie from Otti.

Both the World Bank and any other institutions that Otti has claimed of bringing their attention in the state have never given consent in the form of broadcast or its equivalent in that regard. In Otti's camp, they post their master's lie as “breaking news”.

Otti who said that he would bring heaven to Abia State was the same man who as MD of Diamond Bank Plc declined to assist the government of Chief Theodore Orji with loans to erect Aba Mega Mall at Osisioma in Aba which is now in nearing completion. Does that not show who the person of Otti is? When he had the wherewithal to assist Abia State, he could not; now he is telling those he is misleading that he wants to bring London and Washington to Abia State!

Where was Otti when the management of Greenfield Assets Limited that was constructing Aba Mega Mall at Osisioma in Aba took the bull by the horns irrespective that Otti refused his bank to fund the project?

Otti is talking about building his Eldorado park in Aba and you ask which land or part of Abia that he was going to build his lies on. The late-comer Otti should not be listened to. We have known him as a man who builds castle where none exists.

Otti should learn from Ayn Rand's “ Atlas Shrugged”, “People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I've learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked…The man who lies to the world, is the world's slave from then on…There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.”
