It is not only foolish but profoundly childish to keep insinuating that His Excellency, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, is lobbying to join the APC.
That is a fantasy woven in the same threadbare cloth of deceit that has long draped the politics of the Kalu Brothers—a tired script, predictable in its arrogance and insulting to the intelligence of discerning Abians.

Let’s call this what it is: Classic O.U.K.—a game so transparent that even a child could trace its outline. The elder plays the puppeteer, the younger the pawn, and together they hope to “cow” the Governor into a backroom bargain.
The plot? Simple and shameless.

“Leave the senatorial seat for me, support my ambition,
and I’ll call off my brother’s challenge for governorship.”

Ah, what a deal! What an audacity!
But this time, gentlemen, the curtain has fallen on your theatre of manipulation.
This is not 1999, and Abia is no longer a fiefdom ruled by fear, flattery, and falsehood.

Dr. Alex Chioma Otti is wiser than a hundred Orjis—a man forged by reform, not by deceit; guided by service, not by schemes. He cannot be held ransom to the desperation of men who mistake blackmail for strategy and think that political chess can still be played with wooden pawns on a broken board.

The truth?
The people of Abia have moved on—from darkness to light, from impunity to integrity. And no amount of sibling theatrics, party posters, or social-media propaganda can drag us back into that swamp.

Let those who traffic in deceit continue to dance around their shrinking fire.
The dawn is here.
The masquerade behind the mask is exposed.
And this time—Abia will not be fooled.
