Abia State Governor Alex Otti has said that the 2027 election would be smoother for him than previous outings.
He declared that he is not afraid of the 2027 polls, as his administration’s achievements since taking charge of Abia State would give him a smoother ride.
Otti, who was speaking at the 2025 Aro Day event held in Arochukwu LGA, said that he would not be selling promises to the people, but would only leverage what they are already seeing with their own eyes.
He expressed concern that many people are already causing themselves stress over the 2027 polls, even though the election year is still far off.
“2027 is still far away, but a lot of people have started killing themselves before 2027 comes.
“We are not worried about 2027 because we have a mandate to deliver to our people in four years. We’ve done 30 months, so we still have a long way to go,” Otti stated.
Speaking further, the Abia governor said: “Just like it happened in 2023, 2027 will even be smoother, I can assure you. Why am I so confident? I’m confident because in 2023, we were selling promises, but now there are one or two things we can point to.”
In other news, Former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has said the recent wave of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has vindicated former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike and the G-5 governors who were previously labelled as traitors.
Speaking during an interview on TVC, Fayose said, “Most of the governors that jumped did so in their own interest, what they felt would secure their future and their people. I wouldn’t blame them.”
He disclosed that he had earlier warned PDP leaders about looming challenges within the party.
