Diamond Bank CEO Resigns To Contest For Abia State Governorship Election by ducii: 3:26pm On Oct 24, 2014
Nigeria’s Diamond Bank has announced the resignation of Chief Executive Alex Otti, six months after his tenure was extended for a further three years.

Otti had last month denied reports that he has made public his intention to contest for the Governorship of South Eastern State of Abia in 2015. But with elections drawing close in Nigeria, the revered bank chief is believed to have left in time to prepare for the coming elections.

“While Otti is not unaware of pressure being brought upon him by various organisations to contest for the electoral seat based on his hard work, integrity, managerial ingenuity and track record of performance in the corporate world, the bank notes that he is currently focused on pursuing the vision of taking the bank to greater heights,” a statement by Otti’s PR team stated in September.

However, the Nigerian lender in an official statement through its Corporate Communications Department confirmed Otti’s exit, describing his three-and-a-half-year tenure as the brightest in the bank’s 24-year history.

The Bank’s Board of Directors has replaced Otti with Uzoma Dozie, one of the Deputy Managing Directors appointed in March and son of Former Chairman Pascal Dozie.

“We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Uzoma Dozie as the new Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Bank Plc in consonance with the Bank’s succession strategy and in recognition of Mr. Dozie’s wealth of banking knowledge,” the statement said.

Diamond Bank has witnessed impressive growth during Otti’s tenure, becoming one of Nigeria’s top banks and recently classified by the country’s Central Bank as one of the eight systematically important banks.

The bank saw its Profit After Tax (PAT) grow 29 percent in 2013, soaring N6.4 billion ($38.8 million) from 2012 figure of N22.1 billion ($134 million) to 28.5 billion ($172.8 million) last year.

With the kinda wealth I see around Dr Alex Otti, only a good quality assurance from the power brokers could make him leave his current position for Abia state Politics. Otti is mega rich and has some years to go as Diamond bank chief so I guess he really knows what he's doing otherwise...

This man is a quintessential Economist and a Banker. He revolutionized Diamond Bank in short period of time.

I have no doubt he will succeed if given the mandate to rescue Abia state.

He is leaving the Bank amidst standing ovation. A very humble man that went round the whole HO locations, desk to desk, giving his farewell handshakes to each and every staff.

The Bank would miss Otti, and is confident that Uzoma Dozie will take the bank to its journey.

All the best Sir!

Arewa party? Which Igbo will vote for someone that forms alliance with Northerners? cheesy

The party he joins is important than his credentials and potentials. That is why T.A Orji is flexing his muscle in PDP.
