Alex Otti is the next governor of Abia, he was rigged out 2015 by TA Orji and his stolen billions. With BVAS OUK ooo, TA Orji oo, Ikpeazu oo are all set to be thrown into the doldrums of history in Abia state.

Abia is going back to hands of the people next month.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
So technically, PDP is automatically out of the governorship race?

SALLYBERRY01:
please guide me about what happens next in situations like this. Do they have to do fresh primaries or his Deputy takes his place on the ballot?

nazicartel:
If they forward that young man that took second. PDP will win. But if PDP do their normal mago mago politics and flow with his deputy. Then they will lose..... As it stands now, Abia now has good candidates for this governorship election. Anybody that wins in the secondary election is good to go

Cosmatikka:
Ikpeazu wanted to play God, now God has played him.
OUK from Abia North zone handed over to T.A Orji from Abia Central. T.A handed over to an Ngwa man from Abia South in the person of Ikpeazu. Ikpeazu instead of handing over to an Abia North person decided to play God. Picked a sick old Ngwa man from Abia Central while making Abia North deputy.

You no well. Orji uzor kalu handed over to old Bende man from Abia central instead of Ngwa man from Abia central,then thief a orji handed over to Ngwa man from Abia South. That means old Bende have ruled a total of 16years while okezie Ngwa man ruled 8years under control of orji family. Okezie decided to balance Abia political leadership by giving Ngwa man from Abia central in the person of the late prof. Old Bende people got angry and today he's dead, and they are happy. They are not God, the struggle of Ngwa man continues.
Now God has removed Ikpeazu's choice, it's going back to Abia North as it should.

Meanwhile I think Prof died long time ago but they were trying to hide it in order to check the legalities of replacing him with an Ngwa man
