For daring to showcase the IVM brand of G-Guard Jeep for his inauguration parade, the maker of Innoson Motors has extolled the boldness of newly inaugurated Abia State Governor, Alex
Otti for driving an Innoson Motor brand on his
inauguration day.
Otti was inaugurated on May 29,
an occasion graced by Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Labour Party Presidential
candidate, Peter Obi, LP Vice Presidential candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed, Chibuike
Amaechi, a former Rivers State Governor among others.
Otti sees his victory as a call to service in a state that has been poorly governed for 22 years. The newly sworn-in governor plans to tackle infrastructural decay in Aba, the economic hub of the state; Umuahia, and other major cities.
“I am fully conscious of
the huge expectations of millions of the good people of Abia, who have been
denied the dividends of democracy and good governance for such a long time.
“I am very much aware
and prepared to deal with the issues of infrastructural decay which have
continued to militate against our growth and development as a state. This will
be tackled head-on.
“There is no doubt that given the deplorable state of our
infrastructure, roads, schools and health systems, Abians are deservedly
impatient to have these issues addressed as quickly as possible. I assure you
that these areas will receive the priority attention of our government,” he
said in his speech.
In what has been
interpreted as a sign of his commitment to promoting ‘Made in Aba’ and other
local goods, the governor drove in an IVM during his parade.
The manufacturer through
the Head of Corporate Communications, Cornel Osigwe praised the gesture of
Otti.
According to him, Otti
showed a commitment to local patronage.
Osigwe tweeted, “Thanks for believing in
@innosonvehicles. We received a call if we can produce a vehicle for the parade
and we responded immediately.
“Thanks once again Alex Otti for believing in
Local Patronage. We are ready to work with your government. Congratulations
once again.”
