He said, “The people of Abia state have spoken with their votes and as such, regardless of party affiliation we must all rally support for the Governor-elect.
“I am optimistic that Dr. Otti judging by his antecedents as a private sector player will bring to bear his administrative acumen in piloting the affairs of Abia State.
“There is no doubt he was prepared for the job for which he has been recruited, having contested three consecutive times”, he said.
He therefore, advised the governor-elect to shun those he called political hawks and praise singers who would try to cluster around him to shift his attention from fulfilling his promises to the people of Abia State.
Hon. Nwaokike noted that his victory is one best event in the last 24 years of Abia’s political quest for liberation, advising that Dr. Otti should learn from the abysmal failure that characterized the outgoing PDP administration and avoid same for posterity sake.
