Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has said that democracy has made light to shine on the path of the state and brought in progress that is irreversible.
Governor Otti equally stated that democracy has empowered the people of the state to take control of their destiny, adding that the people may have been disappointed with their choices a few times, but the good news was that their refusal to give up did ultimately pay off.
Otti who stated these in his Democracy Day message to people of the state on Friday, said Abia is better today because the people kept faith with democracy, refusing to be frustrated by the disappointments that attended previous endeavours.

“Through enormous investments in infrastructure, human capital development, public welfare, security and other frontlines of progress, we have demonstrated that freedom and genuine development need not be at conflict.
“The pride of our land is being restored, not by the benevolence of an individual dictator, but rather for the singular reason that our people took the opportunity that democracy offers to elect leaders who appreciate the thrust of public office,” Otti stated
Otti reminded the people that as they mark the 2026 Democracy Day celebration, they should do a rethink on their disposition to the ideals and values that sustained the pro-democracy efforts of the last decade of the 20th century in Nigeria.
