Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has explained why he chose not to respond to comments made by Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, who predicted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would take over the state in 2027. Otti stated that he believes power belongs to God and it would be foolhardy for him to predict the future.
During a press briefing at the Government House in Umuahia, Otti emphasized that he does not subscribe to playing God and will not engage in discussions about future political outcomes. He stressed that his focus is on serving the people of Abia State and delivering on his campaign promises.
Otti’s decision not to respond to Kalu’s comments has been seen as a strategic move to avoid engaging in political banter and instead focus on governance. His statement highlights his commitment to humility and recognition of a higher power.
In related news, a stalwart of the APC in Abia State, Okezie Usim, has warned members of the Labour Party against attacking the Deputy Speaker over his comments. The development highlights the ongoing political dynamics in the state ahead of the 2027 elections.
Otti’s leadership style and commitment to serving the people of Abia State have been praised by many. His decision to focus on governance rather than engaging in political predictions has set a positive tone for his administration. As the political landscape in Abia State continues to evolve, Otti’s approach will be closely watched by political observers and stakeholders.
