Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has restated that his administration is not concerned with early discussions about the 2027 elections, insisting that his attention remains firmly on delivering development to the state.
The governor made this known on Saturday while addressing worshippers at the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuikaa District Headquarters, in Isialangwa South Local Government Area. He assured the people that his government is committed to staying on course and doing what is right.
Otti said he is untroubled by political distractions ahead of 2027, expressing confidence that the same divine guidance that saw him through the 2023 election would prevail again. According to him, no person or group can divert his administration from its set goals.
He emphasized the need to remain focused despite criticism or distractions, urging that governance should not be slowed by unnecessary noise.
The governor also apologized to residents for the inconvenience caused by dust from ongoing road rehabilitation along the Umuikaa Junction–Owerrinta Road, noting that such challenges are inevitable in the process of development.
He disclosed that work on the dualization of the road is nearing completion, adding that construction is also ongoing on the Onuimo–Tower Road as part of the government’s wider infrastructure development drive.
“I am not bothered about 2027, as the God that settled 2023 would equally settle 2027,” he said, adding that no individual or group can derail his administration’s agenda.
This comes as former governors from the state led by Orji Uzor Kalu vowed to frustrate Otti’s re-election in 2027.
