The Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has declared that he will quit active politics after completing his tenure in 2031, ruling out a bid for the Senate and expressing his desire to see younger people take up leadership roles. He also said that leadership succession should be based on identifying the most suitable person for the job, rather than perpetuating a 'sit-tight' culture, adding that his successor would emerge by merit. Otti made these known at the weekend while receiving the 2023 governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Dr. Ngozika Gladys, and her supporters, who defected to the Labour Party (LP), in Umuahia, Abia State. The governor said his priority is to leave behind a legacy of good governance and facilitate the emergence of a successor who would improve on his administration's achievements.
