As the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) prepares to hold the April 25 Abia State governorship election
run off, a concerned group under the auspices of Abia Rebirth has called
on the electorate not to vote for All Progressive Grand Alliance
candidate, Chief Alex Otti for denying and abandoning his birth place,
Arochukwu in the name of politics.
It will be recalled that elders and youths in the state had under the Abia Charter, directed that the next governor of the state should be an indigene of Abia South as Abia North and Abia central had ruled the state for the past 16 years. Based on the joint decision, Otti had denounced his Arochukwu origin to claim Ngwa, a part of Abia central so as to qualify for the governorship under the charter.
Our source gathered Otti has promised his supporters and financiers who are mainly non Abians based in Lagos and Nnewi massive government patronage if elected .
Speaking under condition of anonymity, a leader in Arochukwu said, " how do you expect us to entrust the state resources in the hands of an inconsistent personality. Alex Otti denied his birth place and origin because of politics. He has not done anything tangible for Abians and now he is busy buying people with money. We believe in people who had been contributing to the community all along without bias. My advice to Abians is that they should not vote Otti as he is going to bring all his political appointees and contractors from Lagos and Anambra thereby, abandoning our local economy".
Efforts to reach the Campaign Director General for Alex Otti proved abortive as his phones were switched off.
