Abia 2019: Start Writing Your Handover Note, Alex Otti Tells Gov Ikpeazu

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abia State, Dr Alex Otti, has advised Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to start writing his handover note ahead of his defeat in the 2019 election.

Otti gave the advice on Wednesday while addressing his supporters during the flag off of the APGA governorship campaign in Umuahia, the Abia State capital.

The business tycoon claimed that despite being richer than Anambra state, Abia state was allegedly lagging behind in the last 19 years due to bad leadership.

“Abia is on its way to the promised land. In the last 19 years, Abia has been a caricature of state. It has been a least developed state in the south east and Nigeria as a whole,” said Mr Otti.

“And what is the problem? The problem with Abia state is squarely on leadership. So, thank God will now have the opportunity to change the rot in Abia.

“We are going to do it. It is a task that must be done, and we have started the journey today. We say no to incompetent leadership, we say no to occultic leadership.

“We are sending a signal to them, enough is enough. Abia is not a poor state. Anambra we are talking about today is poorer than Abia. Do you believe that? Anambra doesn’t have oil. The federal allocation for Anambra state is smaller than the federal allocation accrues to Abia.

“But our problem is that the people we have given leadership in Abia state have stolen us dry. We will retire them come 2019. If you know that man (Governor Ikpeazu) that is occupying that Government house, tell him to start writing his handover note.

“I assure you that I will recover all the money the PDP-led administration in the state stole,” said the APGA governorship candidate.
