During a visit to Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, at his residence in Umuehim Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South local government, Chief Onuigbo emphasized the importance of Abia having a federal presence through a secretariat in Umuahia. He criticized past governments for not compensating landowners for the proposed project, which he claims has delayed its realization for 33 years since the state’s inception.

Onuigbo, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated that he had been instrumental in pushing for the federal secretariat project, alongside other infrastructure developments such as the rehabilitation of Umuahia-Ikwuano-Ikot Ekpene Road, Apunmiri Ubakala Skills Acquisition Center, and Achingala-Umunwawa road in Ubakala, Umuahia South local government.

While acknowledging his political affiliation with the APC and Governor Otti’s alignment with the Labour Party, Onuigbo stressed that the recognition of Otti’s achievements is beyond partisanship, highlighting Otti’s commendable performance and calling for unified support from all stakeholders in Abia State for further development initiatives.
