In a bold statement that resonates strongly with the people of Abia State, Governor Alex Otti has called on citizens to ignore the recent comments made by certain opposition leaders. Speaking at the dedication ceremony of a new church building for the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Umuoriehi, Umuahia North LGA, Otti emphasized that these opposition figures are part of the same group that historically failed to foster development within the state.
His remarks come in response to an alliance formed against his re-election campaign, which includes former governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji, and Okezie Ikpeazu. Otti criticized these individuals for prioritizing their personal agendas over the collective progress of Abia, asserting with conviction that any conspiracies against him would ultimately fail.
During his address, he referenced Pastor Uguru's comments about the recent controversies, encouraging attendees to dismiss what he described as mere "noise"—a metaphorical nod to the saying that 'empty barrels make the loudest noise.' He reassured his audience that this opposition represents only a small minority and expressed his belief that God does not make mistakes nor leave projects unfinished. Hence, he urged everyone not to waste their energy worrying about the situation.
Governor Otti reaffirmed his commitment to transforming the narrative for Abia State, hinting at his ongoing efforts to implement positive changes and urging the community to remain focused on their shared goals.
