Former Minister Backs Otti's Re-Election in Abia State

On Wednesday, Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, the former Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, officially declared his support for Governor Alex Otti's re-election campaign in Abia State.

Ogah highlighted the significant progress made under Otti's administration, asserting that his support is based on principles and the observable performance of the governor rather than personal ambition. He dismissed recent political insinuations suggesting that his position was driven by a desperate quest for power, labeling such claims as unfounded and misleading.

Ogah emphasized the importance of focusing on constructive political engagement and public discourse, urging political actors to prioritize policy-driven contributions over personal attacks. He noted that the ongoing improvements in infrastructure, human capital development, and civil service reforms in Abia State are clear indicators of positive change.

Ogah reaffirmed his commitment to the core ideals of the Progressive Congress while advocating for a collective rise above narrow political considerations for the common good.
