Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has issued a strong warning against electoral malpractice, emphasizing that any politicians planning to rig the elections should first consider writing their wills.
The governor delivered this warning on Thursday during the October edition of "Alex Otti Speaks to Abians," held at the Government House in Umuahia, as featured in a video shared on Channels Television’s YouTube channel.
Otti stated that the will of God and the voice of the people will determine the outcome of the 2027 elections in the state.
“I have heard that some individuals around him claim they must take control of this state and manipulate the results, but my only advice to them is that if they genuinely intend to alter the results, they should prepare something else before that time.
“You know what that is? Their wills,” Otti remarked.
He was responding to a question regarding recent statements attributed to the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, who allegedly mentioned that the All Progressives Congress would seize power in Abia in 2027.
This warning follows early political maneuvering in anticipation of the 2027 gubernatorial election in Abia State.
According to DAILY POST, the Labour Party governor ended over two decades of dominance by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state following his victory in the 2023 elections.
