In a move poised to revolutionize the state’s leadership dynamics, Governor Dr. Alex Otti of Abia State issued a resolute warning: the days of accepting mediocrity in leadership are numbered.
Otti’s declaration marked a watershed moment, heralding a new era where only the most outstanding and innovative leaders will be entrusted to shape the state’s future.
Governor Otti’s declaration was made during a momentous occasion in Arochukwu Local Government Area, where he was a special guest at the formal installation of HRM Eze Eberechukwu Oji as the ninth Eze Arọ of the revered Arochukwu Ancient Kingdom.
Otti posited that a society without visionary leadership is condemned to stagnation, asserting that quality leadership is the key driver of growth and development.
Otti recommended that the exemplary process of selecting the Eze Arọ should be emulated by other communities in the state, praising the Arọ people for making an informed decision in choosing HRM Oji, whom he believed was the best candidate for the revered throne.
During his maiden speech, Abia’s esteemed traditional ruler, HRM Oji, vowed to prioritize the needs of his people as a servant leader, and made a passionate plea to President Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled leader of IPOB, who has been detained by the DSS, from custody.

He equally called for the entrenchment of a genuine federal system, where power is decentralized and resources are shared equitably.
The traditional ruler, a former pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), who ascended the throne after a thorough and rigorous screening process among the candidates who presented themselves for the position said “We aspire to see the full development and integration of the entire Igbo nation within the Nigerian federation.Our unity and progress are inextricably linked to the broader aspirations of the Igbo people.
He advocated that through the promotion of a collaborative environment and mutual assistance across the Eastern Nigerian territory, the latent potential of each Igbo community could be revealed and optimized.
