He emphasized unity within the Christian community, saying, “We don’t discriminate because the body of Christ is one. You may have your different churches that you attend. That’s why you will see me in the Catholic Church, Methodist Church, Anglican, and today, I’m in Christ Embassy.

“So, this is an opportunity to thank you all for the support that you gave before the election, during the election and after the election. And, the body of Christ was united in saying enough is enough”.

 

Governor Otti said it was important to thank the Church and also very important to thank God because it is God who made all things possible. He cited a portion of the Bible (1 Cor. 2:6) that says “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase”.

The Pastor in charge, Christ Embassy Umuahia, Pastor Chika Alex commended Governor Otti’s leadership, noting that Abia State, often referred to as “God’s own State,” had suffered from neglect and poor governance by previous administrations.

And God is using you (Governor Otti) to fulfill that prophecy. Abia State has been neglected but God has ordained you to bring the State to limelight”.
