Abia State people in Diaspora have joined in celebrating the victory of the state Governor, Mr. Alex Otti, at the Supreme Court, saying they are happy that he eventually won the last battle to remain in government house. Otti was among the seven governors whose mandates were on Friday affirmed by the apex court thereby giving them peace of mind to face governance without watching their backs.
In a statement issued from the United States, a renowned renewable energy expert, Bob Ibeneme, said Otti’s victory was good for the interest of Abia State. According to him, the former bank chief was already “translating his vision for a new Abia State into reality,” hence winning the last legal battle meant that he would continue and complete the good works he is doing in the state.
Ibeneme, who is a veteran of the US Air force and member of the Abia State Advisory Council, said since Otti came to power, he has “shown exemplary and top-notch leadership in Abia State.
“We have seen governors or even presidents who had no clue or strong hold of their structure. In fact, you can be a leader in your community, in your family, or in your church, without having a title.
“Leadership is all about having true followership. One thing you cannot deny is that Dr. Alex Otti has a tremendous followership that strongly believes in him in the state. “He understands that power belongs to the people and has geared all his policies towards the upliftment of the Abia people, most especially the less privileged.”
Ibeneme, who is experienced in the public sector, having been appointed into the City of Hallowell Maine Council by a mayor in 2015, said he was convinced that the governor “has proven that he has a vision and knows the path towards realising it.
“He (Otti) is slowly and steadily laying a strong foundation to translate his vision into reality in Abia State,” he said, adding that “even the opposition will not argue that Otti came prepared to govern Abia State.”
