As war of words continues to heighten the political atmosphere in Abia State regarding who occupied the State’s Government House after the 2027 polls, the member representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency, Hon Amobi Ogah says nothing including the Elite political alliances can stop Governor Alex Otti from completing a full eight years in office.
Reacting to the recent statement issued by Ex-Governors of the State on the political future of Governor Otti, the House of Rep Member warned against what he described as “political merchants plotting against the will of Abia people.”
Hon Ogah made it clear that Governor Otti’s second term is already sealed by divine will and popular mandate.
“Those who think they can sit in rooms and decide the future of Abia against the will of the people are only preparing their own political doom.
“Power does not come from meetings of former governors. Power comes from God and from the people,” Hon Ogah pointed out.
The federal lawmaker challenged political groups and individuals plotting against the current administration to prepare their “political arithmetic” for 2027 and wait for what he described as “God’s final result.”
He noted that the performance of Governor Otti since assuming office in 2023 has already redefined governance in Abia and earned him overwhelming public goodwill.
The National Assembly Member therefore assured the governor that he will record more votes in 2027 than he did in the 2023 general election from the people of Isuikwuato and Umunneochi .
“Isuikwuato and Umunneochi are fully covered. The people have seen the difference between responsible governance and the dark era of salary arrears, abandoned projects, and institutional decay. There is no going back,” the federal Legislator boasted.
He further warned that any attempt to bring back the political culture that left Abia in financial distress and infrastructural stagnation would be strongly resisted by progressives across the state.
“This is the time for every progressive to stand up and be counted.
“Abia has moved forward. We will not allow anyone to drag the state backward again,” he assured.
