Alex Otti, Governor of Abia State has implored young Nigerians to join politics to decide their future and make a difference in society.
NAN reports that Otti spoke on Sunday in Abuja during church service at The Transforming Church (TTC), where he explained that every society deserves the leadership it gets.
“If you sit back and say politics is for politicians, the politicians will decide everything for you,” he said.
“I am challenging all the young people here. Don’t shy away from politics. That is where decisions about your future are made.
Quoting Psalms 62:11, the governor said power belongs to God.

“You can make a lot of changes if you have power, and that is what politics will give you — to create the changes you want to see in the lives of your people,” he added.
“This is because holding a political office affords people the opportunity to affect the lives of more people than one can imagine.”
Otti also called on Christians not to just pray but to complement supplication with hard work, adding that their dreams and aspirations would be realised that way.
