Abia’s Alex Otti vs Delta’s Sheriff Oborevwori
Same time in office. Different results.
One is building a future.
The other is wasting one.
Delta receives more money than the entire Southeast combined yet has nothing to show for it. Let’s talk FACTS 👇🏾
REVENUE: WHO REALLY HAS THE MONEY?
Delta State
Over ₦1.9 TRILLION received in 24 months
(₦700bn FAAC + ₦400bn 13% Derivation + ₦300bn IGR + ₦500bn borrowings/debts)
Abia State
Less than ₦300bn combined revenue in same period
YET: Delta is gasping.
Abia is growing.
INFRASTRUCTURE: WHERE’S THE WORK?
Abia (Otti):
– Rebuilt Abia Secretariat for ₦900m (₦1.1bn saved)
– Massive road projects across Umuahia, Aba, Ohafia
– Overhauled streetlights, traffic control, & environment
Delta (Sheriff):
– Key roads like Effurun-Warri, Sapele axis, Jesse, Bomadi still death traps
– No flagship project launched
– Secretariat, schools, and hospitals in ruins
HEALTHCARE: A STATE OF LIFE OR DEATH
Abia:
– Allocated 15% of budget to health (first in SE Nigeria)
– Revived ABSUTH (Abia State University Teaching Hospital)
– Renovated PHCs & digitized medical records
Delta:
– Central Hospital Warri is a glorified mortuary
– Medical staff strike constantly
– No major hospital completed in 24 months
Yet Delta spends billions on “consultancy.”
EDUCATION: INVESTING IN BRAINS OR BUILDINGS?
Otti:
– ₦29.5bn to fence public schools (for safety)
– Restored accreditation to ABSUTH
– Launched bursaries & ICT training for youths
Sheriff:
– DELSU underfunded
– Schools lack desks, staff, basic infrastructure
– Education budget still bloated with ghost expenditures
IGR & FISCAL DISCIPLINE: WHO’S MANAGING BETTER?
Otti:
– Raised Abia IGR to ₦15bn in 6 months
– Working toward ₦5bn monthly target
– Cost of governance cut by ending fraudulent contracts
– Prioritized salaries, pensions, and contractors
Sheriff:
– No known IGR strategy
– Huge FAAC dependency
– No clear debt servicing plan
– Budget padded with vague “empowerment” votes
TRANSPARENCY & ACCOUNTABILITY
Otti:
– Publishing contracts (partially)
– Subjected Abia’s past finances to forensic audit
– Sacked ghost workers
– Implementing due process in procurement
Sheriff:
– EFCC still probing Okowa’s ₦1.3trn derivation fund
– Sheriff silent on financial abuse
– No audit report published since he took office
– Key ministries operating in secrecy
COURTS & RULE OF LAW
Abia:
– ICT-driven judiciary
– 17 LGAs with modern courtrooms
– Judges motivated, cases now digitized
Delta:
– Lawyers protest delay in justice
– Courtrooms in shambles
– Judges neglected, salaries delayed
COST OF GOVERNANCE
Yes, Otti spent ₦5bn in 3 months. But he’s showing work.
Delta spends the same and we ask, for what?
Govt House in Asaba is bloated with aides, contracts, PR tools and “influencers” eating millions monthly. Zero productivity.
VISION
Abia is building an economy around technology, health, agriculture, and infrastructure.
Delta is still doing “empowerment” and handouts like it’s 2003.
Abia’s Otti is planning for 2050.
Delta’s Sheriff is repeating 1999.
SO DELTANS, ASK YOURSELF THIS:
What if a man like Alex Otti governed Delta State with the kind of resources we’ve wasted under PDAPC?
– Delta would be West Africa’s industrial hub.
– Our schools and hospitals would be world-class.
– Warri, Ughelli, Asaba, and Sapele would be model cities.
Instead?
We’re stuck in reverse.
CONCLUSION
Abia is proof that bold leadership can work.
If a state with less than ₦300bn in 2 years can show us working hospitals, digital courts, smart schools, and real savings.
Then Delta has NO excuse.
We don’t lack money.
We lack vision.
2027 must not be about party.
It must be about performance. Integrity. Audacity. Boldness. Character.
Delta must rise from the ruins of deceit.
We need a reformer, not a seat-warmer.
We need an Alex Otti not more of the same.
