OPINION: Alex Otti’s Time Has Passed; A Propaganda By Those Holding Abia State Hostage

In 2015, our unanimous resolve to end the commutative years of bad governance in Abia State through Dr Alex Otti whom we overwhelmingly voted for, suffered a temporary setback because of a flawed electoral system that emboldened corrupt politicians to stay in the comfort of their bedrooms to manufacture fictitious election results which they coerced electoral officers to announce.

In 2019 general elections they did the same thing emboldened more by our Commonwealth under their control, which they deployed massively in vote buying.

As a man who detest cutting corners, winning election was not just the most important thing to Dr Alex but winning through free, fair and credible process where the will of the majority prevails. He rather chose to confront the flawed electoral system that robed him and Abians of the overwhelming mandate they gave him in 2015 and 2019 than descend to the gutters with the manipulators and beneficiaries of the flawed system.

From 2015 to the signing of the Amended Electoral Act which has now returned the power to choose our leaders from the corrupt political establishment to the electorates, Dr Alex Otti was one of the leading voices in the patriotic agitation for the amendment of our previously flawed electoral system responsible for the stealing at will of the electoral mandate of the people by corrupt politicians.

With the amendment and signing into law of the amended Electoral Act, power has left the corrupt political class. It is now in the street, in the hands of the rightful owners –the electorates.

Knowing fully well that the power to steal our votes/mandate has left them, now in the hands of the electorates and that Dr Alex Otti is the only political leader that has shown uncommon passion, courage, dedication and commitment to end decades of political and socioeconomic rot in Abia state, those who stole the mandate that we gave to Dr Alex in 2015 and 2019 are out to distract the unsuspecting Abians with cheap propaganda.

One of their cheap propagandas is that the time of Dr Alex Otti has passed, hinged on their false claim that he could not defend the mandate that Abians gave him in 2015. How possible is it to defend votes in an electoral process were votes are counted before voting begins, where results are written before ballots are counted, were votes cast in the hidden replace the ones cast in the open?

For the record, Dr Alex Otti explored and exhausted every legal means and/or due process available to him to protect and recover our Mandate given to him which they stole by force.

The 2023 elections will be a real contest were votes Will be counted at the end of voting, results written and posted direct to INEC’s server at the end of counting the ballots at polling units and where voting done in the hidden cannot be smuggled in* Dr Alex Otti is very much ready for that contest under the platform of the Labour Party.

When they tell you that Alex Otti’s ‘time has passed’, just ask them, what has really changed in Abia State since 2015? Has the welfare of Civil servants improved? Has the pensioners been receiving their pensions regularly? What is the state of our health institutions – ABSUTH; HMB, Abia Specialist Hospital and Diagnostic Center Umuahia etc? What is the condition of Abia State polytechnic, College of Education Arochukwu and so on? What is the state of port Harcourt road, Faulks road and the over 150 roads which they claim they have built? Are our streets and cities free of refuse dumps now? The list of questions to ask them are endless.

The truth of the matter is that nothing has changed. The only thing that has improved is looting of public funds and property in industrial scales. They know they have failed woefully. They know that Dr Alex Otti is the only man that can stop them. That’s why they want to distract you with their cheap propaganda.

The change we sought and voted for in 2015 and 2019 is still the change we seek today. The man we believe in and voted for to bring the change – Dr Alex Otti is still very much in the race for 2023 governorship elections. He has not given up, rather, he is more prepared now than ever.

He is contesting under the platform of Labour Party. Dr Alex Otti is the help that God had prepared for the redemption and rebuilding of Abia State since 2015. The Time is now! The candidate is Dr Alex Otti, the party is Labour Party.

When they tell you that the time of Dr Alex Otti has passed, they are actually saying the opposite. It is their time that is coming to an end in 2023 because the power to steal our votes or manufacture fictitious votes in order to continue plundering our Commonwealth, has been taken away from them. Don’t fall for their cheap propaganda. They want to distract and discourage you from voting for Dr Alex Otti in order to continue stealing from us.

Therefore, Let the children of God in God’s own State Arise to take back and rebuild their State. The rebuilding starts with voting massively for Dr Alex Otti as we have always done and all the candidates of Labour Party in the 2023 general elections.
