The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) gubernatorial candidate Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, has described the current PDP government in the state, led by Okezie Ikpeazu, as lacking in love and therefore incapable of bringing any meaningful development to the people.
Otti, in his Easter goodwill message to the people of Abia State, said it is only love that can move a leader to serve the people selflessly.
He described Easter as the greatest story of love ever told in the history of mankind.
“Easter is about love. In fact, it is the greatest story of love ever told. God Almighty demonstrated His love towards mankind, by giving His only Son as a sacrifice, so that mankind can be redeemed from eternal death”, he preached.
He said a situation where government seemed to have turned blind eyes to the plight of the people it professed to serve, ran antithetical to the very essence of Easter.
“I’m often amazed how the governor of a state, like Abia, would go to sleep and be comfortable, knowing fully well that thousands of the civil servants and pensioners in the state are languishing, due to the fact that they are owed many months arrears of their salaries and pensions by the government”, he recounted in a statement signed by the director of media and publicity of the Alex Otti Campaign Organisation, Kazie Uko.
Otti called on the people of Abia State to remain united in love and hopeful for a glorious future for the state, irrespective of the present difficulties and challenges that confront them as a result of poor leadership and governance.
“Just like the Lord Jesus conquered death and rose from the dead, Abia State, by the grace of God shall yet arise from this stranglehold of her PDP oppressors”, he prophesied.
He thanked all Abia people for remaining steadfast and undaunted in their support for him, even as the battle to reclaim the state shifts to the tribunal.
“We are not relenting. The battle to reclaim Abia State is one that must be won and we will, God willing. I am glad that I am not alone, but even if it means fighting alone, for the sake of those helpless majority, I will not relent”, Otti vowed.
