A former governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in the 2015 general elections in Abia, Dr. Alex Otti, on Friday declared his interest to run again in 2019.

“I have decided to contest again for the governor of the state because the Pharoahs of Abia must be forced to let Abians go free.”
Otti debunked the rumour that APGA had two factions, saying that it was sponsored by the enemies of Abia and APGA.
He gave a detailed narration of how the mandate given to him in 2015, was allegedly stolen but warned that such daylight robbery would never happen again.
He appealed to the electorate, especially the youths, to rise to the challenge and defend their vote in 2019.
“You all should rise to defend your vote. This is a collective responsibility. When you do your bit and we do our own bit, it will be impossible for anyone to rig the election.”
Otti said that the outcome of the election in Ekiti last Saturday showed that it had become difficult for anybody to rig elections in Nigeria again.
According to him, “The Independent National Electoral Commission has improved on the electoral process and has made it difficult for anybody to rig elections again.”
