Gov Otti reaffirms commitment to keeping his promises to Abians

Abia state governor, Alex Otti has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to serving God and fulfilling promises made to Abians at the inception of his government.

Mr Otti said this on Sunday in Umuahia during an interdenominational thanksgiving service organised by the Abia government to commemorate his third anniversary in office.

“We started by taking the state to God in prayers and rededicated the state immediately after we were sworn in. Another vow we made is the one we are about to fulfil,” he said.

Mr Otti said that thanksgiving and worship remained a personal conviction for him and his family, adding that giving glory to God is necessary for the successes recorded by the administration.

Mr Otti announced plans to build a privately funded ecumenical centre in Umuahia. He said that he had already provided the land, which he acquired in 2009, long before he became governor, for the project.

“We vowed that we are going to build an ecumenical centre in Umuahia for God. The ecumenical centre is not going to be built with government money. No dime from the state government will go into it,” he said.
