Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has declared that his administration’s achievements over the past three years are only the beginning of his development agenda, promising to strengthen ongoing reforms and deliver more lasting changes if re-elected in 2027.
Otti made the declaration on Sunday while speaking at the South-East Conference of Dominion City Global in Aba, where he expressed confidence that his government would take the state to a higher level of development.
Describing the achievements recorded so far as a foundation for greater progress, the governor said the next four and a half years would focus on consolidating the gains and implementing reforms that would stand the test of time.
“What has happened here is what I call a dress rehearsal, to let people know that they haven’t seen anything yet. What we have built in the last three years is just the foundation,” Otti said.
He added that his administration intended to make the reforms irreversible, stressing that governance should focus on practical policies and projects capable of improving the lives of residents rather than unrealistic promises.
The governor also disclosed that his government was working towards achieving a more reliable electricity supply across Abia State, describing power as a key factor in economic growth and improved living standards.
On governance and inclusion, Otti reiterated his commitment to fairness, equity and merit, insisting that residents should not face discrimination based on their state of origin or religious background.
He maintained that everyone living in Abia should be treated as an Abian, adding that appointments into his administration were based on merit.
Earlier, President of Dominion City Global, Pastor David Ogbueli, commended the governor for what he described as purposeful leadership and efforts to transform the state.
Ogbueli highlighted improvements in infrastructure, electricity and the business environment, urging Otti to sustain his administration’s development drive.
The governor’s remarks come as political activities ahead of the 2027 governorship election gather momentum in Abia. Otti, who is seeking another term under the Labour Party, has pledged to build on his administration’s record if voters renew his mandate.
