promami:
That's not the reality.
APC presenting a united front is a big deal. And there's possibility that PDP is also working with APC towards the gubernatorial election.
The governor caused this. He allowed his aides to insult everyone who asks questions about transparency. Citizens, political leaders, CSOs, media, no one was spared. Something that govt is meant is meant to provide clarification usually turn to a barage of insults.
Ever since the idea of Ben to run for governor started, they've been running a campaign of calumny against him. Even though he has not declared to run and there are many other people who have declared their ambition.
Otti defeating 3 former governors who are united is very difficult. He even won his election because two of those former governors backed him.
Pensioners, civil servants, the grass root, health workers, judiciary, farmers, are all waiting for him. He phucked all of them.
Abia is my state, I based in Aba, this section i highlighted is a pure false, no past Abia governor supported the election of Otti, is it TA orji that denied him governorship ticket in 2015, when Otti is in PDP, or is it Orji Uzor kalu that campaign against him because he's in LP(Obi party) or is it Okezi Ikpeazu that busy trying to have a successor that will not expose his wrong decisions while in government 🤔
Listen even if the three governors have united against Otti, they can't remove him, Listen if you're not aware, around Aba/Umuahia if you condemn Otti work the masses will even beat you hard, that's to tell you that he have the grassroots support, we are not seeing anyone in Abia State that can remove him, he didn't have to campaign to win election in the state again, he's works speaks for him. Listen Abia State has been a state known for bad roads, poor infrastructures and health care, bad government and representatives for the period of 24yrs of those animals that rules us, didn't you see how how people celebrated for ordinary Julius Beger icon in the state. But let me tell you, almost all the bad roads in Aba have been reconstructed, even new ones have been built, many roads have been dualiise in Aba and also in the state capital.
So I don't see any reason 🤔(excluding death) whatsoever that will make Otti loose the forthcoming election in the state, mind you if you come in thugs, rigging, free and fare, he will give it you.

Faber:
Alex Ikweche and Amobi Ogah are front runners to succeed Otti in 2031
You're correct, but Alex Ikweche has only one weakness (He's a Muslim) but I will like him to continue from Otti instead of Ogah, but my people will dislike him because of that religion.

HE IS ENTERING WITH RIGGING MACHINE INTENTION.



2027 THEY WILL MEET THEIR WATER LOO BOTH HIM AND HIS MASTER IN ASO ROCK.
That is what all of them in APC is banking on, including Tinubu. Either in the field or courts, that APC will set a rigging machinery for them and they so confident about it. Neway my call is to Nigerians with good conscience to stand up against this corrupt government and kick them out and make politicians understand that power truly belong to the people.

I'm in Abia too and followed the election closely.
OUK backed Otti, it's in the public. APC didn't field any governorship candidate last election. Ochendo backed him after Ikpeazu went against the charter of equity that states that power should return to Abia North.
Did you see the move Ikpeazu made to oust Ikuku as a speaker and suspend him? Or how they tried to deny him ticket for house of reps?
Who gets insulted at that level and still go ahead to support PDP?
Otti visited Ochendo and struck a deal. You can't win election in Umuahia without them.

I don't believe this report because who will willingly let go of a lucrative position at hand and chase a mirage? There is no vacancy in Abia state government house in 2027.
Re: Deputy Speaker Of HoR, Benjamin Kalu To Contest Abia Guber Race by OgwuEgo: 11:07am On Apr 10
He was a Minister of State, they are usually not effective, they just make money if the substantive Minister wants, shared prosperity is better, he wants to improve his state, he has done well for his community.
SmartPolician:
I think that guy should just remain in the private sector and run his chains of businesses. I don't know why every rich man wants to get into power. Being that prosperous already made him powerful - I didn't see his impact as a minister under Buhari

As how now? Win Otti? It is good he is shooting his shot

A very good man. He will win handsomely.

Good luck brother!

The man is unhinged and delusional. This is a classical case one arrogating to himself more importance than he actually is. Looking at his abracadabra when he is acting for the speaker in the House, he is not fit to be a Governor.

That idiot is not running for governorship position. He is only testing his popularity.
If he dares it, he will be embarrassed seriously.

I tell you, Otti doesn't need to campaign in Abia, his works has concluded campaign for him

if he loose both he can still be appointed a Minister

Normally he is a politician and go to church services for politice but he was converted into Muslim about 10 or 15 yrs ago, you can check his profile in Wikipedia or just Google it.

Did you see him campaign anywhere?

His name on the ballot is just to fulfill all righteousness. He never intended to contest. It was a political battle between him and Uche Ogah and he had upper hand at the federal level.

you don't buy into the Oti's hype because you aren't from Abia state, ask Abians what they witness under Kalu, Theodore and the clown ikpeazu? Ikpeazu that was giving 500naira to women that must put to bed omo!! Theodore, that one and his son turned Abia state treasury to cash and carry. Kalu still tried a bit, but leave Ndi Abia for their God sent messiah Oti.

Like you have both expressed, you have had a history of bad governors. Therefore, your standards are low. If you are used to rummaging through people’s dustbins for food. Expired sardines will be heaven to you. For normal people who eat well expired sardines is bad dangerous food.


I have not seen or heard anything exceptional Otti has done. Mind you for me SanwoOul is a mediocre governor, considering the resources available and potential of Lagos state. I apply the same standards to all governors. I rate Peter Mba, Nassaraw state gov, Wike (he is the governor of Abuja) and Dapo’s second term as examples. Otti is not in their league. Perhaps you can tell us what he has done besides saying he is better than people you say were failures.

Nigeria does not have the luxury of celebrating mediocrity. We are already playing catch up!

you was making sense till you mentioned Dapo. You mean Dapo abiodun or another Dapo? Best 3 performing governors now Oti is among them no cap. Wike? You saw the newly constructed "30billion" kugbo bus terminal that was destroyed by wind?
Re: Deputy Speaker Of HoR, Benjamin Kalu To Contest Abia Guber Race by OgwuEgo: 12:08am On Apr 11
I just did it says he's a recent convert. He came to Presbyterian Church Wuse recently maybe he was invited.

Did you voted for Dr Alex Oti?

Are you from Abia state?

If you did not vote for Dr Alex Oti and you are not living in Abia or from Abia state, no need riding with you because Alex Oti is working for those who elected him and they are happy with him.

I think that's the end of the matter.

Ministerial slot is waiting for him.
But i think he should remain in the reps, he may be the Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2027.
Let him roll his dice well, because I'm fully sure that he's not going to win even one LGA in Abia state including his constituency he's representing, they can only vote for him for Senate or rep member, but he can't win Orji Uzor kalu in the Senate, and he's already tired of house of rep, that's why he's eyeing governorship.
Alex Ikweche have supporters in Abia State than him, he's representing the most populated area of the state, and also an indigin of Benjamin Kalu constituency and also loved by his people, he's slowly preparing for his governorship ambition after Alex Otti.
He knows what he is doing, he knows he can't win his seat back or even senate, so the best option is to vie for guber and loose and then be compensated with ministerial appointment

I am not from the states I mentioned but I know what those governors have done. I asked you a simple question: Perhaps you can tell us what Otti has done? I didn’t see you list anything in your post besides am “I from Abia”. I am Abia is not projects: I am from Abia is not attracting investments. I am from Abia is not creating jobs. I am from Abia is not infrastructure. I am from Abia is not attracting factories that provide jobs for the people.

If you cannot list his achievements then you have proved my point that he has t done anything noteworthy. If he is as good as you say, you won’t have problems listing his achievements.

Dapo has tried in his second term. He was a colossal failure in his 1st term.

I only just saw you mentioned the failed bus terminal as a reason for saying Wike is failing. If a man does 9 things well but fails in 1, that is 90%. By any measure that is excellent. That you are questioning Wike’s performance because of one failure shows you are not in objectivity mode.
