Our dear state since its creation in 27th August,1991 has experienced leaders who have contributed their wealth of knowledge to the growth and development of the state.However,at this point we need a change, a paradigm shift from the normal business as usual,as we draw closer to a new electoral year in 2015. Abians must be wise and selective in making a choice of who becomes the number one citizen of the state.
We must carefully take the following pressing needs into consideration for a better state;
The number one citizen must be a man with a humble background and good up bringing,which also includes a good track record in his area of specialization. A man we can entrust our resources with,to help maximize profit.
Abians need a man with high network of investors and developers both internationally and locally,who will help to build our state and create more jobs for the unemployed.
We need a man, who can transform our subsistence agricultural state to a commercial agricultural nerve centre to the Nigerian economy, whereby we don't have to consume all we harvest in a farming season. Our farmers need to be suppliers of agricultural produce to willing manufacturers for finished goods.
Education brings development in every society, therefore we need a man that can upgrade our educational status and produce graduates who can compete with graduates in developed countries. We need our own Obafemi Awolowo who will make education free for the populace.
The mortality rate during child birth is on the rise in our state due to lack of good medical attention and equipment in our hospitals,so we need a man who can stand up to the challenge and build us modern and well equipped medical facilities in every part of the state.
Traders and local manufacturers are folding up their businesses and relocating to other states due to lack of basic amenities and grants to help them survive and operate effectively. We need a man who will build a modern industrial pack ,where the small business owners will strive better and perfect their trade. The good old days of BATA and over one thousand shoemakers in Ariaria,should be reverted in a better way.
Our rural areas need to be provided with basic social amenities (roads,water, and other critical infrastructure)to make life easier and better for the occupants of such areas, and also upgrade our towns and cities to a very comfortable levels.
Science and Technology is known to be a part of life and Abians can not be left behind in the moving train,as we need more science and technological inputs in the state to enable the people appreciate life better and also help the young generation acquire more knowledge.
Waste management should be made a priority in the state to ensure a healthy society. A functional waste management agency should be put in place to ensure clean and healthy Abia.
Most importantly, we need a fund manager as our governor. Someone who can create wealth and  make good use of our revenue in the right directions to better the economy of our state,we need a man who will run the state as a business and and not as a political jamboree ,thereby maximizing profit with true accountability.
An appraisal of the gubernatorial aspirants will reveal that only one man has these qualities to carry out the onerous task of ensuring a truly God's own state and that man is no other person than our own illustrious son, Dr Alex Otti,who has excelled in so many aspects of his life and profession as an Economist and a seasoned banker.For Dr. Otti, excellence has always been a way of life. He capped his academic pursuits with a first class honours. He was also and best graduating student of his set at the University of Portharcourt.He has had an enviable career spanning across four of the Nation's most prestigious financial institutions,City bank of Nigeria,UBA, First bank and Diamond bank where he rose to become MD/CEO.
Today, these banks stand among the best banks in the country. He has helped individuals, states and companies improve their financial strength. He is a humanitarian and an achiever of high status,known and recognized both internationally and locally. With all these attributes and qualities, we all can attest to the fact that Dr. Alex Otti is fit for government house come 2015.
Ndi Abia, if we must THINK ABIA we must THINK ALEX OTTI.

let him get the ticket first...he should be working on his party members now.

True talk, Abians need to sit up if they really want to get things right.

nawa oo, I thought that ukwa-ngwa has this tenure in 2015 . otti doesn't sound ukwa-ngwa , more like ohuhu

He should resign his appointment first if he's serious in contesting for Governor

Which one is the Ukwa NGWA thing,Abeg make them forget this zoning thing. The masses should decide who rules them,and not the governor, and I believe Alex Otti is a very good candidate for that position.
