Dr. Chima Anyaso throws his full weight behind Gov. Alex Otti, aligning with Old Bende Stakeholders in endorsing the administration’s performance. Read the full story of what this means for Abia’s political future.
Umuahia, Abia State – In a bold political statement that has further energized the growing support base of Governor Alex Otti, prominent businessman and political figure Dr. Chimaobi Desmond Anyaso has thrown his full weight behind the communiqué issued at the end of the Old Bende Stakeholders’ meeting, expressing firm backing for the Governor’s leadership, reforms, and transformation agenda in Abia State.
The endorsement, which comes at a time when Abia is witnessing sweeping reforms across governance, infrastructure, and public service delivery, is being described by political watchers as a significant affirmation of Otti’s vision from one of Bende’s most influential sons.
Dr. Anyaso, fondly called Ofuji, did not mince words in his support for the communiqué, which was crafted by respected stakeholders from the Old Bende bloc—including seasoned professionals, elder statesmen, traditional rulers, and grassroots political actors—who came together to evaluate the performance of the Otti-led administration and chart a new path forward.
In his press statement, Dr. Anyaso said:
“I, Dr. Chimaobi Desmond Anyaso, wish to unequivocally endorse the communiqué recently issued—articulating strong and collective support for the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, Executive Governor of Abia State.”
He emphasized that Governor Otti has, in less than two years, demonstrated uncommon leadership, fiscal discipline, strategic foresight, and an unrelenting commitment to transforming Abia State from a history of abandoned potential to one of visionary progress.
“From infrastructure renewal to transparent governance, his administration has rekindled hope in the possibilities of purposeful leadership,” Dr. Anyaso noted.
As a proud son of Abia and a native of Bende, Anyaso’s voice carries significant weight. He has long been recognized for his philanthropic efforts, youth empowerment programmes, and deep engagement with grassroots development. His alignment with the Governor’s vision not only strengthens the legitimacy of the Old Bende Stakeholders’ communiqué but also sets a clear tone for future political conversations ahead of 2027.
“This is not just an endorsement of a communiqué,” he stated. “It is a reaffirmation of our shared hope for a greater Abia State and a call to all Abians to remain steadfast in support of a government that is delivering on its promises.”
He concluded with a powerful call to unity, urging all stakeholders, regardless of political leaning, to rally behind Governor Otti for the good of Abia’s future.
“Let us continue to build together. Let us stand with leadership that is working,” he affirmed.
Observers say this declaration may further consolidate the political base around Governor Otti as the administration continues its focus on road construction, healthcare improvements, educational reforms, digital governance, and inclusive economic development.
The statement also underscores a shift in political alignment across Abia North, especially in the Old Bende zone, where grassroots voices are increasingly echoing sentiments of change and progress under the Labour Party-led administration.
With key political figures like Chima Anyaso publicly backing the Governor, it appears the message of a “New Abia” is not just gaining traction—it’s becoming a unifying force across party lines.
