A group of political stakeholders under the name Change-Abia Organisation has declared support for Governor Alex Otti’s second-term bid, saying his performance in office is the reason for their decision.
The group, led by former governorship candidate Regan Ufomba, made this known after a meeting with its leaders, executive members, local government coordinators, and representatives of its 197 affiliate groups.
The meeting took place at Ufomba’s residence, known as “Heaven is Real,” in Umuogele Ntigha.
In a statement released after the meeting, the group said its decision was based on Governor Otti’s achievements in his first 35 months in office.
The organisation, which includes the Association of Village Heads in Abia State and other affiliated groups, said Otti’s performance makes him one of the most impactful leaders in the state’s history.
They also stated that after reviewing other people interested in the governorship race, Otti still stands out as the most qualified. They advised others to reconsider spending time and resources on the election.
The group promised to mobilise strong support for Otti’s re-election in 2027, no matter their political party, saying he deserves another term to continue his development projects across the state.
Ufomba called on residents and stakeholders to support the governor, adding that even people outside Abia State have praised his work.
He mentioned key achievements of the administration, including road construction, transportation, urban renewal, and improved welfare for citizens.
Ufomba concluded by saying that based on his performance, Governor Otti has earned the right to seek re-election.
