Abia State Governor Alex Otti has declared that his re-election in 2027 is inevitable, insisting that no individual or group can stop it.
Otti made the assertion on Saturday while speaking at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuikaa District Headquarters, in the Isialangwa South Local Government Area of the state.
Despite his confidence about 2027, the governor warned that his administration would not be distracted by early election politics, stressing that his focus remains on delivering development to the people of Abia State.
“I am not bothered about 2027. The same God who settled 2023 will also settle 2027,” Otti said.
He further pledged that his government would continue to do the right thing, regardless of attacks from the opposition.
“No one, or group of people, whoever they are, is entitled to distract us. When they make noise, we should not be bothered. We should just remain focused and do what we have to do,” the governor added.
Otti’s comments come amid ongoing verbal exchanges between him and former Abia State governors—Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji, and Okezie Ikpeazu. In recent weeks, Senator Kalu had vowed to stop Otti’s re-election bid in 2027.
