Abia State Governor Alex Otti has expressed confidence that his re-election bid in 2027 will be more straightforward than his previous electoral outings. Speaking at the 2025 Aro Day event in Arochukwu Local Government Area, Otti attributed his optimism to the achievements of his administration since assuming office.

According to Otti, his administration’s accomplishments will be a key factor in his re-election campaign, as they will serve as tangible evidence of his performance. He noted that, unlike in the 2023 election, where he was campaigning on promises, he can now point to specific achievements. The governor emphasized that he will not be making promises to the people but rather leveraging the visible progress made during his tenure.

Otti also addressed the concerns of those already anxious about the 2027 polls, stating that the election is still far off. He urged citizens not to stress themselves over the upcoming election, as his administration is focused on delivering on its mandate. With 30 months already completed, Otti said his government still has a long way to go in fulfilling its commitments to the people.

The governor’s confidence in his re-election bid stems from the progress made by his administration. He believes that the 2027 election will be smoother than the previous one, given the tangible achievements that can be showcased. Otti’s administration has been working to deliver on its promises, and the governor is optimistic that the people of Abia State will recognize and appreciate the efforts made.

As the 2027 election approaches, Otti’s comments suggest that his campaign will focus on highlighting the achievements of his administration. The governor’s strategy appears to be centered on demonstrating the progress made during his tenure, rather than relying on promises of future developments. With the election still some time away, Otti’s administration will likely continue to work on delivering on its commitments, aiming to build on the momentum generated so far.
