Governor Otti made this clear on Friday, December 19, at the Michael Okpara Auditorium, Government House, Umuahia, while responding to a viral video alleging that his recent political engagements signaled a plan to contest for higher offices.

The Governor categorically stated that he has no ambition to run for President, Vice President, or Senator, stressing that his mission in public office is limited to his current mandate.

“By the time I’m done with governorship, I will retire. I don’t have presidential ambition, vice-presidential ambition, or senatorial ambition,” Otti declared.

He explained that leadership comes with a responsibility to know when to exit, adding that politics should not be a lifelong pursuit.

“When you have done what you were asked to do, you clear, give way to younger people. We are not cut out for recycling offices,” he said.
