Governor Alex Otti has revealed that he chose not to respond to the comment of Hon Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Speaker House of Representatives over comment on APC taking over the gubernatorial seat in Abia.
Governor Otti gave his position on Friday during the monthly media parley held at the government house in Umuahia, Abia State Capital.
In his words: “It is foolhardy for me to be talking about what will happen tomorrow. I chose not to respond to Ben Kalu’s comment because I believe that power belongs to God, and He gives it to whom He wills. I am not competent to sit here and say what will happen in 2027. I do not subscribe to playing God.”
Kalu in a video footage of his media interview had declared that Otti would be the last Labour Party governor in Abia. He boasted that as Nigeria’s number six citizen, he would not sit by and allow an opposition party to control Abia.
The Deputy Speaker further stated that Abia must be taken over by his own party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), though he confessed that “I don’t know how it will happen”.
