Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
2027: Governor Otti Will Not Sell His Soul — Nor Abia’s Treasury Leadership is never measured by how loudly one shouts in the market square of politics but by the quiet constancy of integrity when compromise beckons.

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
Otti Strikes Back: Critics Exposed for Metaphorical Smoke, Not Fire In the noisy marketplace of Nigerian politics, where sensationalism often substitutes for substance, Governor Alex Otti stands unshaken on the firm ground of verifiable data.
