The report had also quoted Otti as saying: “I have nobusiness with Lagos, I am not competing with Lagos. My competition is China andDubai. “By the time I’m done with Abia, Lagos will look like avillage”. But a statement released by Ferdinand Ekeoma, the SpecialAdviser to Governor Otti on Media and Publicity on Sunday night, described thestatement as false, baseless and unfounded propaganda issued by angry andfrustrated politicians. Ekeoma, who said that his principal detests garrulous andchildish showmanship, said that Abia Governor could not have made a statementthat bears the signature of arrogance,thoughtlessness and divisiveness. “Given the relationship which has become an unbreakable bondthat has existed between Governor Otti and his brother Governor BabajideSanwo-Olu for decades, speaking to the Governor directly off camera on anysubject matter is one of the easiest things to do,” he said.
