Dr Alex Otti has emerged as the governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Abia State for the 2023 Abia gubernatorial election.
The former Diamond Bank Chief Executive emerged unopposed at the governorship primaries held Wednesday in Umuahia.
He was declared winner by the Returning Officer, Mr. Sunday Okeke after polling a total of 454 votes.
Otti, in his acceptance speech, said that he was prepared to move Abia state “from the era of bad governance to an era of prosperity.”
He regretted that Abia had been retarded due to mis-governance, and vowed to chase the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, out of power in 2023.
The governorship hopeful solicited the support of all Abians to enable him actualise his ambition which he said was in the interest of the state.
Otti promised that Abia under his watch, would be the envy of the South East.
