2027: Why I chose to be silent over Deputy Speaker, Kalu’s comment -Gov Otti

Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has revealed his reasons for not responding to the claims by the Deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.

Kalu had said Otti would be the last Governor of the Labour Party, LP, as the All Progressives Congress, APC, would take over the state in 2027.

This is coming as a stalwart of the APC in the state, Okezie Usim, warned members of the Labour Party, against attacking the Deputy speaker.

Briefing newsmen at the Government House in Umuahia, Otti explained that it would be foolhardy for him to predict the future, stressing that power belongs to God, not man.

“It is foolhardy for me to be talking about what will happen tomorrow. I chose not to respond to Ben Kalu’s comment because I believe that power belongs to God, and He gives it to whom He will. I am not competent to sit here and say what will happen in 2027. I do not subscribe to playing God,” he said.
