Kindly permit me to tell you a few things about that road where the priest was pictured kneeling and praying without making anyone look like a hypocrite.

1. NDDC awarded that road, Ohanku, and already paid about N1b to the contractor. I don't know if the priest is aware or not but if he has been living in that area he probably was among those who recently celebrated that the road has been done by one Abia opposition politician.

3. Unimpressed by the continued deteriorated state of the road, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu courageously included it in the N27.4b World Bank assisted Watershed Management Project that also includes reconstruction of Obohia, Ngwa Road etc despite its failed subsisting NDDC status

4. As the priest was inside the water taking pictures, the contractors of the N27.4b project covering the area are also on location doing palliatives and creating alternative routes prior to commencing work on the major roads in the contract.

5. Abia State Government led by Dr Okezie Ikpeazu is set to reconstruct that road in a manner that will even shame the Devil. The new road project will include the most ambitious watershed management effort ever executed around where we used to know as Ndiegoro area of Aba that made Late Dee Sam Mbakwe cry.
