The Labour Party Abia State Governorship candidate Dr. Alex Otti OFR, has urged Abians and residents in Abia State not to be discouraged by the challenges they have faced, but that they should celebrate the privilege of being alive today because that alone is enough to be grateful to God for.
In his Christmas message which was signed by Otti and made available to ALL FACTS NEWSPAPER, the ex-bank chief reminded Abians that 2022 Christmas celebration precedes the crucial 2023 general election and that if they desire a better Abia State they should all get their PVCs, get ready to vote out what he called slavemasters.
He urged Abians to vote Peter Obi for president, himself for Governor and to vote all other Labour Party candidates in all the election.

ALEX OTTI’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO ABIANS.
Fellow Abians, on behalf of my family and my party, the Labour Party, I bring you special Christmas greetings on the occasion of the celebration of the birth of the Saviour of Mankind, Jesus Christ.
This year’s celebration is special to millions of Abians. First, because in spite of the too many tragedies that had befallen the nation, you and I are privileged to be alive to behold this day; this alone is more than enough to be grateful to God.
Secondly, this Christmas precedes the crucial election year of 2023, when you and I shall have the great opportunity we have been yearning for to reclaim our dear state of Abia and return it to the path of peace, growth and development, after several years of rudderless leadership that has severely affected the welfare and wellbeing of millions of Abians, especially our unemployed youths and senior citizens who have been consistently denied their salaries and pensions.
Between 2015 when the mandate you passionately and unanimously gave to us was brazenly snatched away by the oppressors, and today, I have neither slowed down nor withdrawn from asking critical questions and taking practical measures geared towards ensuring that those who have seized our Commonwealth in Abia are not allowed to continually enjoy underserved affluence while insulting our sensibilities.
May I humbly remind you that the elections have been slated to take place between February and March 2023 in Abia, and you would have the noble duty to pick up your PVCs, and also encourage your family and loved ones to pick theirs and vote out those who have made themselves Slavemasters over you. By voting for our incoming President, Mr. Peter Obi, my humble self, and other Labour Party candidates across the 17 Local Governments of Abia state.
On my side, as your son, brother, friend and servant-leader seeking to render selfless and people-oriented service to our state and her people, I am prepared more than ever to align with other like minds to ensure that those holding our state down do not have any single opportunity to steal your vote in 2023 moreso, given the change in the electoral laws and process. I therefore charge you not be discouraged, rather be spurred and inspired by the new INEC innovation called BVAS which has provided a better platform for the protection of your votes.
Remember, no freedom has ever been achieved easily anywhere, hence the need for us to increase our resolve and redouble our efforts aimed at reclaiming and rebuilding our state for the good of all.
As we travel to our various destinations to celebrate, as well as meet with families, friends and loved ones, I pray that God grants us journey mercies.
May He also help us to celebrate peacefully, and enable us to remember that, Christ is the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas to you all, and Happy New Year in advance.
Signed
Dr. Alex Otti, OFR
Labour Party Governorship Candidate
Abia State
