  Alex Otti came highly recommended for the top job of superintending over the affairs of Abians as state governor, after several attempts since 2014 until mother luck shined on him in 2023. We had concluded that Mazi Otti will bring a paradigm shift from the old traditional politics of past regimes in Abia and set a new template of governance.  This stems from his past experience as a former bank managing director and seasoned technocrat.  We are very disturbed at what is becoming a trend in propaganda aimed at blackmailing past leaders of the state especially the immediate past Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu.  Governor Otti had demonstrated his hatred, disdain and vindictiveness on the immediate past Governor.  A few example will confirm this assertion; 1.Governor Otti on assumption, made it a state policy by not having anything associated with the past administration.  This culminated into the sacking of all the part permanent secretaries in addition to sa...
