From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
Governor Alex Otti has said that his decision to seek reelection in 2027 as Abia State Governor, is in the hands of God which will come after he must have consulted with Him.
Governor Otti made this known at Okpuala Ngwa, Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area during the grand civic reception and appreciation ceremony organised by the ‘Oha Isiala Ngwa People’ of Isiala Ngwa North and South Local Government Areas.
While thanking the people for their endorsement, the Governor stated that 2027 will be in the hands of God.
“Just like 2023 was in the hands of God, 2027 will also be in the hands of God.
“So, while I thank you for this endorsement, because I see it as an endorsement of what has been achieved so far, I also thank you for making predictions.
“I would only say that, I would go back and consult with my God. And as time goes on, my response will be made public. Because, like I said the other day, I know my people are waiting.”
He explained that his administration’s deliberate investment in Aba, was anchored on the potentials the city has in driving the economic growth of the State.
He added that, developing Aba was a strategic decision aimed at stimulating internally generated revenue to fund projects in other parts of the State.
The Governor used the occasion to clarify that the location of Abia Airport in Nsulu, Isiala Ngwa was purely on technical merit and not political considerations and disclosed that all affected landowners have been fully compensated.
