Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has said he will seek divine direction before deciding on a potential re-election bid in 2027.

The Governor made this known on Saturday during a grand civic reception and appreciation ceremony organized by the Oha Isiala Ngwa People of Isiala Ngwa North and South, held at the Sam Ihesiulor Stadium, Okpuala Ngwa.

Amidst rousing endorsements from stakeholders and a mammoth crowd of ers, Governor Otti emphasized that, just like in 2023, the decision for 2027 will ultimately be left in the hands of God.

“Just like 2023 was in the hands of God, 2027 will also be in the hands of God,” the Governor stated. “So, while I thank you for this endorsement… I would only say that I will go back and consult with my God. And as time goes on, my response will be made public.”

The event was convened to honour Governor Otti for his “towering and excellent performance” in governance, with emphasis on his numerous completed and ongoing projects across Isiala Ngwa North and South LGAs.

Addressing the gathering, Governor Otti explained the istration’s focus on Aba, describing it as a deliberate economic strategy to bolster the State’s internally generated revenue (IGR) for broader development.

“Our concentration on Aba is because we know that Aba has the capacity to generate revenue to develop other parts of the State. It is our commercial hub—not just for Abia, but the entire South-East and South-South.”

He restated his government’s commitment to inclusive development across the state, announcing that the Mgboko–Ntigha road project will be completed by December 2025.

On the ongoing Abia Airport project located in Nsulu, the Governor clarified that its siting was based purely on technical merit and not politics. He assured that all affected landowners had been fully compensated, describing the project as more than just an aviation terminal, but a future economic hub.

“We are not just building an airport; we are building an airport city. There will be hotels, plazas, markets, and even an Air Force base. It is a transformational project.”

Mr Man, stop this kind of talk.

Which one is you will talk to God?

If you want to contest you contest.

God is not going to tell you anything,

Unless you are hearing other voices in your head and you think it’s God talking.

Normal Naija politicians statements . I have never seen a Nigerian politician make this statement and come back to say God told him not to contest

You have done so much in 2 years
We are behind you.
