Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has issued a stern warning to individuals allegedly plotting to manipulate the 2027 governorship election in the state.
Speaking during his monthly media chat at the Government House in Umuahia, Otti cautioned that anyone planning to falsify election results should also prepare to write their will.
According to him, intelligence reports have revealed that some political actors are already holding meetings and devising illegal strategies to “take over the state” ahead of the next election.
“I’ve heard that some people said if they must take over the state, they will write results. My advice to them is simple — if they truly want to write results, they should write something else first — their will. This is our state; nobody can intimidate us,” Otti declared.
The governor further stated that he remains unshaken by such threats or political scheming from his opponents.
He also cautioned politicians against engaging in premature campaigns, emphasizing that doing so violates electoral laws.
“We must respect the law. If INEC releases a timetable and says this is when campaigns should begin, and you start before then, you’re breaking the law. You could even be disqualified before the election,” Otti warned.
