Abia State Governor Alex Otti has stated that those talking about the 2027 general elections in 2025 are “trying to play God”.

Otti said this on Sunday, adding that there is no guarantee that anyone would see beyond the next day.

According to him, while the present is certain, the future is a gamble, so it is imperative to talk about the former.

“People in 2025 are talking of 2027… you can’t even talk about 2027 because there is no guarantee that you would go beyond 2025. Who are you to begin to talk about 2027?

‎“Today is certain; tomorrow is a promise. Next tomorrow is gambling.

‎“Let us talk about today; when tomorrow comes, and we are lucky to be part of it, we can hold the discussion,” Otti said.
