The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, has called on the incoming governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, not to toe the path of his predecessor, Okezie Victor

Making the appeal at a media briefing that took place at the weekend, shortly after their 63rd Annual General Conference and the Annual Delegate Meeting , in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba State, the association expressed sadness at the alleged ways and manners in which the incumbent governor of the state relegated medical doctors to the background.

The association, according to Dr Ojinmah, is optimistic that the incoming governor will be responsive to public servants in the state. He also lamented the alleged lukewarm attitude of the Imo State governor, Hope Uzodinma, and his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom, toward doctors’ and civil servants’ remunerations in their respective states, advising them to go back to the drawing board “and kindly listen to their doctors and workers.”
