The conversation in Abia today is loud. Who can truly lead? Who can build? The answer is not far-fetched for those who have followed the story of Opah.
Opah is a builder. Not by slogan, but by record. From scratch, he built Fortune Global Shipping and Logistics into a respected brand in a highly competitive industry where only competence and credibility survive. That is not politics. That is proof of capacity.
Professions are different. Leadership is not about making noise; it is about building systems that work. Opah chose his path in business and he has discharged his duties creditably. He understands what it means to start small, grow structure, manage men and resources, meet deadlines and deliver results. These are the same ingredients good governance requires.
We have seen governors in Abia. We have seen different styles, different promises. What Abia has not truly experienced is a tested builder in Government House — a man whose instinct is to create, organise and multiply value.
Enough of questioning his capacity to lead Abia to its Eldorado. Capacity is not debated, it is demonstrated. Fortune Global Shipping and Logistics is his demonstration. Give him the opportunity and watch him do the magic with Abia’s economy, infrastructure and youth potential.
Opah is eminently qualified to lead the state if given the mandate. He has built a company; he can build a state.
Abia does not need another experiment. It needs a builder.
Let Abians entrust him with their mandate.
