Dr Alex Otti, has raised the alarm over threats to his life. The Abia State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has lamented over several attempts to eliminate him.

Dr Otti, who was declared duly elected
governor by a Court of Appeal sitting in
Owerri, Imo state, said in Lagos yesterday that
all attempts on his life will fail because he is
holding in trust the mandate of the people of
Abia state.
The APGA flagbearer said he will not bow to
pressure nor give in to fear. He expressed
absolute faith in God, adding that those after
his life were merely wasting their time.
He said: “There have been threats to my life
but I do not fear because I am a child of God.
My Bible says ‘touch not my anointed and do
my prophet no harm’.
“You must have heard the one that happened
in Abuja. I was in a place in Abuja from
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
morning, God told me to move away from
there and relocate to another town, so I
moved. On Thursday night, over 10 men
stormed my residence, killed my mobile
policeman and turned the place upside down.
God had taken me away then. So, I have no
fears…”
On December 31, 2015, the Court of
Appeal declared Otti winner of the April 11
and April 25 supplementary elections in the
state.
Otti in celebrating his court victory over
Okezie Ikpeazu of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), restated his commitment to
assume the mantle of leadership freely given
to him by the people of the state. He said
nothing can stop him in the pursuit of his
mandate.
The APGA gubernatorial candidate for Abia
state, condemned the violence that greeted
the court’s announcement in Aba, the
commercial centre of the state. He alleged
that the violence in Aba was the handwork of
supporters of the PDP .
