Many Former Abia Governors Came Through Manipulation, Not Ballot Box—Otti

Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has said that his administration is resolute in ending corruption, divisive and clannish system of governance in the state.

This is even as he has declared that many of those who led the state in the past did not emerge through the popular will of the people, but through alleged electoral manipulation.

Governor Otti, who said this at Wesley Methodist Church, Umuekwule Afugiri, Umuahia, during the thanksgiving service for the successful burial of Mrs Victoria Nkolika Onwuneme, declared that going forward, leaders that will lead Abia State would emerge through the popular will of the people.

“I believe that Abia people are now resolute in saying that enough was enough. Going forward, we have to install our leaders ourselves”, he declared.
