Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has issued a stern warning to anyone plotting to rig the 2027 governorship election in the state, saying such individuals should “write their will” before attempting it.
Speaking during his monthly media chat with journalists at the Government House in Umuahia on Thursday, the governor declared that the people of Abia will no longer tolerate electoral fraud or political intimidation.
“Let it be known that the people of Abia will not be intimidated or allow their will to be subverted,” Otti said.
“Those thinking of writing election results ahead of time should go ahead and write their will too.”
Governor Otti, who came into office in 2023 under the Labour Party (LP), emphasized his administration’s commitment to free, fair, and credible elections in the state.
His comments come amid growing political tension as various actors begin laying the groundwork for the 2027 general elections.
Otti also reiterated his earlier statement that IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, would “regain his freedom in no distant time,” referencing his administration’s broader stance on justice and fairness.
