Fubara disclosed this on Tuesday during the unveiling of the 10.98km Aleto-Ogale-Ebubu-Eteo Road, also known as Old Bori Road in Eleme Local Government Area of the state by Abia State Governor, Alex Otti.
He noted that the contractors who handled most of the projects for Wike’s administration are now returning for outstanding payments.
He said, “This road was previously not completed but has now been completed. It should be noted. For the records, this contract was awarded to CCECC on August 14, 2023, by this administration
This project was awarded N6.7bn, and I can say boldly that no kobo is remaining. We have paid the contractor completely without owing. The purpose of this is to let the world know that if there is one problem this administration has, it is debt.
"Most of the projects commissioned (by the last administration), the contractors are still coming for their balance payments running into millions and billions. I have said I don’t want to talk because I am part of that system, but when they keep pushing me, I will say it so that we will see the nyansh of the fowl.
He also justified the presence of Alex Otti at the commissioning, citing a commitment to aligning with progressive figures.
“You know I am not a long talker, but for the few ones, I will say the internet will be in trouble. You might be wondering why I invited the Abia State Governor. It is because he is not an artificial integrity man but an action integrity man,” he said
