Ngwa High School field in Aba, Abia State, on Friday witnessed a mammoth crowd as Nigerian economist, investor, philanthropist, politician and former Group Managing Director of Diamond Bank PLC, Dr. Alex Otti, gathered APGA faithfuls  for his declaration to contest for Abia State governorship come 2019.

The event attracted so many dignitaries across the nation and thousands of Ndi Abia who showed their support and strong belief that Dr. Otti will do better than the present administration.

Among the dignitaries include: Senator Chief Victor Umeh, Frm National Chairman APGA, Alhaji Shinkafi, Frm National Sec & Member BOT, Deputy Governor Anambra State, Dr Nkem Okeke, Chief Sir, Lawrence Anikpe (Onwa Igbariam) the House of Assembly aspirant for Anambra East constituency, Local Government Transition Chairmen and many others.

At the occasion many leaders of the party spoke on the gross injustice done to Dr Otti during 2015 election court matters by denying him of his mandate.
However, all pledge to continue with their support for Dr Otti till his victory come 2019.

Otti in his speech praised Abians for their resilience and doggedness, and thanked them for the unprecedented and uncompromised support they have continued to offer him in spite of numerous attempts to either compromise or strangulate them. He assured them that he was ready to put in his best for the good of Abia state.

The APGA chieftain restated his position that his governorship ambition was not driven by the quest for personal economic fortunes as known to millions of Abians, but by his selfless and passionate desire to bring his wealth of knowledge to bear in the governance of Abia state.

Otti called on Abians to ensure that they get their PVCs and also mobilize others to do so, and made it clear that he has no godfather, except the God in heaven, and thus would not share workers’ salaries with any godfather.
