Am one of the fans of Gov. Alex Otti.
But he fell short by making such an inflammatory statement. There's no justification for such except if death sentence is the punishment for rigging election.

If someone tells you, write your will. The implication is that you should prepare to die. There no further explanation to this. Let's be sincere to ourselves.
Body bag and write your carry the same weight

I'm not a bit surprised he made such remark pls if he didn't make it then he disappointed me for failling to displayed that genetical confused, anger and frustration satan implanted maliciously into my people gene from the creation onset.

If truly he is sure of him as a good performing Governor did he suppose saying such? An inteligent man with no nzogbuu nzogbu madness will map out his winning strategy silently and silent other contestant as the sitting governor because he is better than obaseki in term of governance and performance so why is he that lousy and issuing dead threats?

Even the Fed Govt not showing any interest in Abia governorship race because Otri performed and doing well so he is covered but had it be he is a failure I swear we will sweep him out and nothing will happen the last he will do is to become Obaseki second but thankfully we like him and he performed very well as governor.

I will sue you for using my exclusive image with my consent.

Thank God you added "with my consent". How then are you going to win me again since you authorized it?

Governor Alex Otti could have passed his message of deterring perpetrators of election rigging in a more diplomatic, uncombative and less combustible manner.

Former Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai was roundly condemned for his "body bag" utterance to foreign observers in Feb. 2019.

Late President Muhammadu Buhari was also severely criticized for issuing his "dogs and baboons being soaked in blood" ill-advised pronouncement.

Leaders must weigh their utterances very carefully before making them and not coming back trying to explain what they actually meant.


Otti simply goofed!



@hotseat

You owe no one any explanation. If they decide not to write their will before coming to rig election. That's on them. Them go regret when them arrive hell fire

Orlandoo:

Reference:
Mr. Otti. That is a threatening statement and can incite those loose at the edges...

If I may ask, threatening statement to who?

Somebody dey plan to rig election,dem talk of will,he begin para.
So,
will dey synonymous to death?

It's a good statement but the problem is some folks complained bitterly when Buhari said similar about rigging. Don't use double standards.

Of course it's a threat. Let's stop being too modest. It's a threat to the right set of people. Yes! Election riggers should feel threatened. And why the hell not??!!! Aren't they terrorists? Should they be pampered instead?

I agree... 2027 election go loud. Not likely to be as usual

See them, defending bad thing,if na Wike talk am now,dem for don bring out Vaseline dey masturbate every where, hippocampus, sorry hypocrites,Wata Bam Bam

Not that I support Elrufai's body bag comments in the lead up to the 2015 elections, but there's no difference here..
Those who criticize Elrufai are finding reasons to justify this comment. You write a will in preparation for DEATH, boby bags are used for the same reason.
What is bad is bad,

Gbam!

Threat or no threat, APC will surely take over

So that they can tax Abians to hell and loot them silly instead of making government services and utilities available for everyone?

Is that not the 26 years legacy of Tinubu master plan for 20 million Lagosians

Lanrelagboi:
Lagos has now crossed the 3 Trillion Naira annual budget mark. Crossed 2 Trillion in 2024.

Memory Lane: the first full-year Lagos State budget (Year 2000) in the 4th Republic was in the region of 40-something billion Naira. And it was described as “unprecedented” back then.

Potable water still luxury 23 years after return of democracy

WHILE the Federal Government continues to proliferate the country with dams, it is such an irony that a state like Lagos, with its massive, constant boast of being a megacity, cannot provide its residents, thereby forcing the bulk of them to take solace in the arms of water boreholes.

At regular intervals, the two major waterworks in the state, the Adiyan, and Iju get grounded leading to the non-availability of water. In April and May last year, for instance, they both produce less than 10% of their installed capacity.

As of today, Eti-Osa, Apapa, Victoria Island, Badagry, Ibeju Lekki, Surulere, Ikorodu, Agege, Ojo, Mushin Kosofe, and most locations in the state are without access to clean water. Consequently, millions of residents now rely on boreholes, rivers, rainwater, as well as comprised wells for their water needs.

On its website, the LWC claims that it has a total installed water production capacity of 210 million gallons per day (MGD), which is far lower than the current estimated daily water demand of 540 million gallons per day.

Also, its plan to produce 745 million gallons per day by the year 2020 through the Lagos Water Supply Master Plan fell flat with the actual number of citizens having access to potable water dropping, rather than increasing 11 years after the launch of the master plan.

A senior staff of LWC, who preferred anonymity said that at present, its agency only supplies water to Lekki, parts of Ikoyi, Victoria Island (VI), Ojodu, Iju, and some parts of Ikotun.

apc can not win a local government in abia

The same people who applaud the oba of lagos and oluomo for threatening to kill igbo people are now condemning otti

Tinubu is a big disgrace to leadership,Nigerians and Yoruba people are not happy with your leadership.
This is not governance it's criminality shruded in politics

Otto, u don't own them any explanation.
Ur message was very clear, so he that has ears key him hear.

But why should anyone feel threatened if not the APC touts that already know the message is for them.

So you want to do rigging as usual nau? It's good as OTTI talk am early, he's not P.O wey una dey use wipe nyash anyhow because una think say he soft.

MrColdsweat:

So, you mean all those who wrote their wills are dead? I know all persons in bodybags are dead. How is it the same?

I see nothing bad in advising intending criminals to write down their wills in advance in saner climes they are even executed legally by the govt.

The wicked runs when no one is pursuing. Only election riggers and their criminal supporters should have a problem with His statement.

temitope27:

In Abịa state? Unless Otti decamps to APC there's no way the party will ever take over. Anambra on the other hand, No party will ever dethrone APGA there. If Soludo decamps to APC, LP, PDP or ADC , he will lose his re-election even against a he goat contesting with APGA

If this is a threat, what would you call the recent nurtw apc foot soldiers Lagos chairman sego's speech inviting violence and threatening anyone that votes for other parties apart from APC with death, what will you also call me oluomo's threat which they eventually carried out in 2023 elections.... ?

Let it be a threat, we like it like that. Rigging must be discouraged by all means possible.
