Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has expressed strong
confidence in securing a second term, declaring that the 2027 general election
will be easier for him than the 2023 polls.
Speaking at the 2025 Aro Day celebration held in
Arochukwu Local Government Area, Otti said his administration’s performance
since assuming office has positioned him for a smoother re-election campaign.
According to the governor, unlike in 2023 when he
campaigned largely on promises, his government can now point to tangible
achievements visible to the people of Abia State.
“Just like it happened in 2023, 2027 will be even
smoother. I am confident because in 2023 we were selling promises, but now
there are concrete things we can point to,” Otti said.
He noted that while some politicians are already
anxious about the 2027 elections, his administration remains focused on
governance and service delivery rather than political calculations.
“2027 is still far away, yet many people have started
putting themselves under unnecessary pressure. We are not worried because we
have a four-year mandate to deliver to our people. We have completed 30 months
and still have a lot more to do,” he added.
Also speaking at the event, the Emir of Kano,
Muhammadu Sanusi II, praised Governor Otti’s leadership, stating that the
transformation of Abia State over the past two years has attracted attention
beyond Nigeria’s borders.
“I congratulate Dr. Otti for the work he has done in
Abia. Those living here can see it clearly, but it may interest you to know
that even outside Abia and Nigeria, people have taken note of the remarkable
transformation,” Sanusi said.
The former Central Bank governor further expressed
pride in serving on Otti’s International Economic Advisory Council and prayed
for the governor’s continued success in delivering good governance to the
people of Abia State.
