A financial expert and former bank chief, Alex Otti has declared that he is still very much involved in the struggle to liberate Abia State from the stranglehold of bad leaders and has once again offered himself to contest for the governorship seat in 2023. He made this known while declaring his interest to join the increasing number of governorship aspirants jostling for tickets of various political parties in Abia, saying that he is in the 2023 governorship race for the love of Abia.
Otti started the quest to become the chief executive of Abia in 2014 after giving up his top post as the Group Managing Director/CEO of Diamond Bank and joined politics in full swing and emerged a governorship candidate. Recall that he led the opposition All Progressives Grand Alliance(APGA) to record a stunning electoral success in 2015 and was at the verge of victory in the governorship poll but lost out to the incumbent governor Okezie Ikpeazu
