Otti stated this through his Media Adviser, Ferdinand Ekeoma, in a statement on Friday, in Umuahia against the backdrop of the massive defection of All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the APGA fold.<\/p>\n
The APGA chieftain explained that, \u201cIt\u2019s not by accident that many honest and discerning Abians are declaring massive support for his ambition, because, I am \u00a0unarguably the most qualified and the most competent hand available at this critical moment to arrest the leadership rots ravaging Abia state\u201d<\/p>\n
insisted that his pedigree and reputation built through decades of excellent and fruitful leadership in many institutions and for which he is recognized internationally remained his greatest selling point.<\/p>\n
According to the statement, \u201cthe world has gone beyond the tricks of individual office holders who would sit in the comfort of their offices and tell wicked lies about their achievements, or those who would leave their states in ruins and be flying from one country to another in the name of searching for investors, without knowing that investors are very smart, and have verified facts about every state and individual governor, which is the reason why, in spite of the too many travels the Abia governor, Okezie Ikpeazu embarked on to Europe, America and Asia, yet he was unable to attract any foreign investment to Abia state\u201d.<\/p>\n
The APGA chieftain assured the people of the state that such pathetic situation would become a thing of the past when he takes the mantle of leadership in 2019\u201cBecause local and foreign investors already know his antecedents of administrative seriousness and excellence, and thus wouldn\u2019t hesitate in aligning with him to advance the economic fortunes Abia state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
