2027 Is Still Far Away, But A Lot Of People Have Started K!lling Themselves – Gov Otti

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has said he is not concerned about his re-election bid ahead of 2027.

Otti, while speaking at the 2025 Aro Day event held in Arochukwu Local Government Area, said that the 2027 election would be smoother for him than previous outings.

He expressed concern that many people are already killing themselves over the 2027 polls, even though the election year is still far off.

According to Otti, his administration’s achievements since taking charge of Abia State would give him a smoother ride in the next election.

Governor Otti emphasised that he would not be selling promises to the people, citing the campaign before his election, but would only leverage what the administration had done for the state.

He said, “2027 is still far away, but a lot of people have started killing themselves before 2027 comes.

“We are not worried about 2027 because we have a mandate to deliver to our people in four years. We’ve done 30 months, so we still have a long way to go.

“Just like it happened in 2023, 2027 will even be smoother, I can assure you. Why am I so confident? I’m confident because in 2023, we were selling promises, but now there are one or two things we can point to.”
