Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has urged Abians to disregard recent remarks by some leaders of the opposition in the state.
Governor Otti who was speaking on Saturday at Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuoriehi, Umuahia North LGA, during the dedication of the church building, said that those who are gathering against him were the same people that failed to develop the state in the past.
Otti was reacting to an alliance formed against his re-election by former Abia governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu.
The governor slammed the opposition members for pursuing personal interest above the collective development of Abia, declaring that every gathering they are making against him would collapse.
He said, “Pastor Uguru made reference to the noise that you may have been hearing in the last few days.
“I want us to just dismiss it as noise, you know, and it’s always the empty barrel that makes the loudest noise.
“They are a tiny minority. And God doesn’t make mistakes. And he doesn’t have an unfinished project. So, I don’t want anybody to lose breath or worry about it.”
Governor Otti said his administration would continue to change the narrative in the state.
