Dr Alex Otti''s emergence as Abia's Governor-elect, has been described as God ordained, even as he was reminded of the enormous task of rebuilding the State 


Dr Ifeanyichukwu Uke, a United States of America-based Abian  made  the declaration in a letter of congratulations, where he told the banker turned politician that:  "Having attempted to lead your people three-times, you could not have emerged victorious at better time than now when the Abia center could no longer hold as things have completely fallen apart.


" It is really true of the saying that third time is a charm. The siege is indeed over with your emergence! 


Dr Ifeanyichukwu Uke 


"It is with utmost excitement and gratitude that I congratulate you, His Excellency, Dr. Alexander  Otti OFR on your landslide victory as the governor-elect of Abia State  under Labour Party despite the desperate attempts by some oppositions to thwart or subvert the desire and the mandate of your constituents.


"The statewide carnivals, jubilation, and celebrations recorded yesterday and still ongoing are all indications that your mandate as the governor-elect is ordained by God and affirmed by the good people of Abia State – Vox populi, Vox Dei!  More so, your victory is an indication that the political status quo has fallen in Abia State and meritocracy now trumps godfatherism. No more political stooges in Abia State!!"



Dr Uke, who in his several write ups and comments on Abia politics advocated for change of guards in the State further reminded Dr Otti that to  whom much is given, much is equally expected: "You have some onerous responsibilities ahead of you as the journey to clean up over two decades worth of crass decadence, excessive rascality, unimaginable impunity, remarkable ineptitude, and moribund system is as difficult as daunting could be. This is, in no stretch, a suggestion that you are not equal to these burdensome tasks ahead. 


"I am unapologetically resolved that you are the best equipped man for this job in this dispensation, and I have no iota of doubt that you will deliver in all your campaign promises because you have the people’s best interest at heart, and that is the only way to show the good people of Abia your gratitude for their resolve in you. More so, for massively mandating you to carry this burden and mantle of rebuilding the dilapidated Abia on their behalf as their servant-leader. 


"Please Sir, let your word be your bond for  am counting on you! The momentum is high and the desire is very pure! You know what they say…“Onye nna ya ziri ohi na-eji ukwu agbawa uzo” You have the mantle, go and make us proud and we are solidly behind you!


"Furthermore, permit me to enjoin you to be a unifier above all because your victory is victory for all Abians both indigenes and non-indigenes and your victory also transcends political partisanship. I implore you to synergistically harness the best brains that cut across all political aisles to work with you all for the common and greater good of Ala Abia, for synergy and formidability incubated in diversity.


"Once more, may I appreciate your tenacity, patience, doggedness, steadfastness, and consistent courage to stand toe-to-toe against the age long status quo of reckless maladministration, dysfunctional system, and impudent rascality. Your Excellency, it is time to etch your name on the sand of posterity by restoring the rights of Abia residents and non-residents to quality of life and living. Congratulations once more on your well-deserved victory"
