The immediate Vice President of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo has hailed Governor Alex Otti for what he described as his purposeful and people-oriented leadership that is repositioning Abia State.

“I am extremely proud of the work you have done so far, you have lived up to expectations – not only to the people but also to your friends and associates. In the short time I have been here, I have seen tangible evidence of progress.”
Prof. Osinbajo particularly commended Governor Otti’s bold social welfare reforms, including assenting into law, the Senior Citizens’ Law.

“Sometimes you wonder whether, after all the efforts to get into office, leaders are able to fulfill their promises. But in your case, you have done not just what you promised, but even more. You have made public service worthwhile,” Prof. Osinbajo added.
Governor Otti while responding, described the former Vice President as a brother, friend, and mentor, whose visit was deeply appreciated.
He reiterated that governance must remain centered on the welfare and security of the people.
“Governance is about the people their welfare, their safety, and their peace of mind. If you enter office for any other reason, you miss the essence of leadership.”
Governor Otti thanked God for the progress recorded within 32 months in office, describing the administration’s achievements as modest but impactful.
