According to him, “do not take advantage of the grace that God has provided.”
“May everything you do be for the benefit of the disadvantaged people in Abia,” the message reads.
“Allow those in need to experience joy. Let the elderly and those receiving pensions enjoy themselves.
Obi made a pledge to return to Abia after four years to campaign for Otti’s reelection because he has implicit faith in the capacity and competency of the new state governor in delivering democratic dividends to every doorstep of the people of Abia.

The Chief Executive Officer of Abia, who was accompanied at the event by his wife, Mrs. Priscilla Otti, and the Deputy Governor of the State, Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu, gave an assurance to the people of Obi and the inhabitants of Abia that his administration would not only work for the poor, but would also help raise them out of a life of struggle and poverty.
A portion of what he stated was as follows: “we have come here to work for Abia people and Abia people we will work for.”
“We have not come to work for big men because we believe that big men will always find their way,” the leader of the group said.
