BY BENJAMIN KALU, UMUAHIA
The just concluded Nigeria labour party Presidential candidate for 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi has advised the Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, never at any time abuse the God’s grace, and advised him
never to neglect the poor in the state rather, he should make them his priority, as to restoring their long lost hope and joy.
The labour party 2023 Presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi reminded the Abia Governor, Dr Alex Otti, who is a renowned First Class Economist, that his emergence, as a governor of Abia State was propelled by God’s grace, and advised him not to disappoint the poor ones in the state.
Mr Peter Obi made the passionate appeal, during the today thanksgiving service of the new Governor, Dr Alex Otti at the Umuahia event centre, of the state’s capital, and expressed his gratitude to God for the labour party victory in the state .
He stated that: “Mine are just three items and number one is that;
I give gratitude to God the Almighty that made it possible for us to gather today to celebrate with the Governor”Dr Alex Otti, he explained, that as he never supported the piteous condition of inhabitants of the State, as was instigated by those wicked past leaders in the state “who do not have consciences”.
He implored Otti to, as much as possibly, work assiduously towards making better the lots of the people who had cast their votes in his favour, and charged him to disabuse his attention from political Godfathers in the State whom he regretted had held the people captive over the years.
“The second one is an appeal to my brother, the Governor. The people voted for you. Always remember that it was only possible by His grace. Never you abuse that grace of God. Let all your actions, all you are planning, all you’re budgeting, everything you do be for the interest of the people who voted for you.
They have suffered enough. Do not look at people like me, do not look at people who have stolen Nigeria’s wealth, do not look at people who have taken everything from this country, rather look at the poor people of this country, they have suffered enough.
Please, make the poor people to be happy and make the rich to be annoyed. Let the pensioners, the retirees feel that they once worked for the State; let the civil servants feel that they’re working for Abia State. Look at them, that’s the grace God gave you. Do not abuse the grace.
“I look forward for a four years when you are looking for a reelection and you will come here for another thanksgiving as happy as we are today because the poor people are happy. That’s how we’ll be dancing; and all Nigerians.
Moreso, he enjoined Nigerians to continue to pray for a better Nigeria, even as he wailed that the country’s leadership was still in the hands of the people who, according to him, are without a conscience.
“Finally, I want you to pray for Nigeria. I can tell you, remember Nigeria everyday in your prayers; remember us the politicians. Look at me, look at all of us. Pray for us; your country is in the hands of criminals; people who don’t have conscience; do remember all of us in you prayers” Obi pleaded.
Responding, Otti assured his commitment in ensuring his administration stand as “Second to none’, among past administrations, stating emphatically that his government is geared towards rescuing the poor from their pathetic state.
He recounted that he, in conjunction with his team and all Abians of good conscience, had observed a 7-day prayer and fasting session for the emancipation of the State from bondage, as well as a rededication service held in Aba, the state’s commercial bane prior to the inauguration of his government.
“And exactly six days later, we’ve come to say father, thank you for what you have done. We give you all the
