* Ikpeazu

Dr. Alex Otti  Tuesday sent 'get well' messages and prayers of quick recovery and sincere solidarity to Abia State Governor Okezie Ikpeazu who recently tested positive to the coronavirus, and to  members of the state executive council, plus  other citizens who tested positive to the virus. 

Otti, the governorship candidate of APGA in the 2019 election, enjoins Gov  Ikpeazu to "remain strong and courageous in the face of the Covid-19 trial, as a way of instilling confidence in other citizens who were also hit by the virus", and urged all Abians to take this pandemic very seriously.

He also  reminded Abians that viruses act very mysteriously, and sometimes strike with unpredictable speed and surprise, hence the need for Abians to do away with doubt and carelessness, but rather adhere to every professional advice, and apply individual and institutional safety measures required to remain safe. 

Otti further adds that his very early intervention in the fight against the pandemic and support to selected hospitals, was predicated on his understanding of the threat posed by the virus, and the need to help check its spread, especially amongst medical personnel. 

In a press release signed by his Media Assistant, Ferdinand Ekeoma, the former banker thanked  public spirited Abia citizens and friends who responded to his call to support our people in this fight, particularly Access Bank that put up a 100 bed Isolation Centre in Amachara and The Abia Professionals League led by one of our illustrious daughters, Mrs. Ngozi Ekeoma who has just completed a state- of- the- art permanent 50 bed Infectious Diseases and Treatment Centre at FMC, Umuahia amongst many others.
