Unveiling the real Alex Otti and His ‘change’ slogan of Deceit
I am compelled to write this column without being
conciliatory to anyone because of the political scenario in
my beloved State – Abia State – as the general elections
gather momentum.
My disillusionment is predicated upon the truism that some
crafty and insincere politicians whose antecedents and body
languages depict retrogression to our collective aspiration as
Ndi Abia if properly scrutinized, are hiding under the guise
of “change” to manipulate our psyche.
As desirable as change is, the proponents must epitomize it.
In other words, the platform and the personality through
which the change is being propagated must be built on
morality and devoid of any deceit and manipulations; the
reason I am worried about Dr. Alex Otti and the APGA
platform because from all inference his change slogan is
embellished in deceit.
Before any gullible fellow sees me as a paid agent who has
been contracted by political opponents to tarnish Otti’s
image, I want to state unequivocally that I have been in the
forefront of the battle to ensure that Abia State takes it
rightful position as the number one state in Nigeria long
before Otti’s ambition.
Therefore, I make bold to say with all sense of responsibility
irrespective of whose ox is gored, that positive change is
achievable only through flawless foundation which is
championed by men of unquestionable character not
desperadoes masquerading as change agents.
No matter how enticing Otti’s candidature seems to some of
us and his sanctimoniousness before some gullible Abia
electorates, his antecedents need thorough scrutiny.
The controversy surrounding Otti’s real origin of birth and
his emergence as the Abia State APGA gubernatorial
candidate, the allegation of age falsification coupled with the
revelation that he was sacked by Diamond bank
management contrary to his claim that he resigned his
position as the managing director honourable are too
weighty to ignore in the all important political discuss of who
assumes the mantle of leadership in Abia State at this crucial
stage.
My assertion is based on the truism that leaders are not
imposed on the people rather they emerged from them and
the people’s ethos is symbolized by a leader’s ethical quality.
Therefore aspiring to lead goes beyond the luxury
associated with leadership but its reflectiveness on the
people you are leading.
Judging from the point of view of what Otti claims he
represents, the alleged falsification of his age by declaring
under oath that he is 49 years of age even denouncing his
original state of origin coupled with the N120 million other
APGA aspirants alleged he bribed APGA national chairman,
Chief Victor Umeh with to emerge APGA candidate, I am
tempted to say that his sanctimony and slogan of “change” is
tantamount to hypocrisy as well as action in escapism as he
is not better than those he is antagonizing with propaganda
to succeed.
According to his former colleagues in the banking sector,
Otti never resigned honourably as being claimed rather they
said he was sacked from his position by the furious
Diamond bank PLC management who allegedly discovered
his subtle plan to acquire majority of the bank share
through surrogates as contingency plan to enable him stage
a return if he eventually lost the election.
The bank was said to have consented to Otti’s political
ambition when he made it known to them and even agreed
to give him leave of absence during the period the election
will last, but the skeptical Otti chose to act fast by trying to
use surrogates to acquire majority of Diamond bank shares
to ensure that he becomes one of the largest shareholders
of the bank.
Diamond Bank discovered this plot at the last minute when
the deal was almost being successful and subsequently
sacked Otti for engaging in greedy and unethical practice.
Sadly enough, the deceitfulness is being used by Otti and his
cronies to manipulate some gullible Abia electorates. For a
example, it is no longer news that Otti is sick and look
incapacitated to assume the enormous responsibility of
governing a State, but his camp continued to trivialize his
long absence from public even campaign until an on-line
news medium, The City Reporters broke the news that Otti
was flown abroad to a German hospital where he had a
spinal cord surgery and is recuperating under the watchful
eyes of foreign medical doctors.
His over zealous cronies immediately produced and started
circulating fake pictures of Otti with some white men
claiming that he traveled to source for foreign investors for
Abia State in an election he is yet to win and not even sure
of winning.
Though Otti’s camp continued to play down that media
report as junk journalism, the truth was later confirmed
when Otti emerged with walking stick at Matar Dei Cathedral,
Umuahia, last January during the governorship debate
looking very lean and sick.
Couple of weeks ago, Otti slumped in his residence and was
immediately rushed to an undisclosed Lagos hospital forcing
him to cancel his Aba rally which was to take place on Friday
26th February, still Abians are being made to believe that he
is the real face of change
From all indications, some enemies of Abia State want to
replicate another Yar’Adua scenario in Abia State by insisting
that a very sick man is foist on us all instead of doing the
needful but the billions of Naira invested so far in pursuit of
their vain ambition will not allow them.
I was troubled and was almost moved to tears for my
beloved Abia State when Alex Otti’s right hand man Engr.
Uchenna Okagbue APGA Ag. Chairman South-east said
during their recent in-house meeting that no one in Otti’s
camp should be afraid of Otti’s health worries, that Otti has
enough money to buy Abians over.
He equally boasted that even if Otti is in coma that Ndi Abia
will be deceived into voting for him through a well packaged
propaganda which they are presently using to deceive the
electorates. I strongly believe that no one man’s ambition no
matter how desperately needed should precede that of the
entire state.

Useless post from Thief After Orji Uzo Kalu (T.A Orji) and Ikpeazu supporter. Alex Otti is the man we know for Abia State Gov 2015.

You should have had the decency of introducing yourself so I can have a name and maybe, a face for the article.
Useless article writer.

Alex Otti is giving the Orji's sleepless nights, I can imagine!
