The former
Managing Director of Diamond Bank Plc, Dr. Alex Otti, on Tuesday in Abuja
dumped the Peoples Democratic Party and picked the All Progressives Grand
Alliance nomination form for the 2015 governorship elections in Abia State. Otti
picked the APGA governorship nomination form after paying the N2 million for
the expression of interest and the N10 million for the nomination form at the
APGA national headquarters.
He
premised his decision to join APGA on his strong beliefs in the party’s
ideology and his “determination to rescue Abia State from total collapse.”
Otti
said, "I have left the PDP and to me, coming to APGA is like home-coming. I
like to use this opportunity to thank APGA leadership for warmly welcoming me
to your office and welcoming me home. I have always said that APGA is not a
political party but a religion for Nigerians, some of you will recall that when
our national leader (Chukwuemeka Ojukwu) died, we did everything to make sure
that he was given a befitting burial. I was the Chairman of the finance
sub-committee.
"I am
very happy to be back home, we have a mission to take back our state and put it
back on the part of progress and industrialization. We have started that
journey, we know that there are a whole lot we could do. When I look at Aba, I
regret that I did not take this decision to serve my people. It is a great
sacrifice for me to leave what I was doing until a few weeks ago. But it is not
too late, we are here to win and we must win."
