2027: Apostle Suleman Makes Bold Statement On Alex Otti’s Re-Election Bid

Apostle Johnson Suleman has praised Abia State Governor Alex Otti, describing his administration as an example that effective governance is possible in Nigeria.

According to Bush Radio Academy, the cleric made the remarks during a Sunday sermon while discussing Otti’s administration and the changes he believes have taken place in Abia State.

Suleman said Otti’s performance could strengthen his chances of securing a second term in office without requiring extensive campaigning. He urged Nigerians to pay attention to the governor’s activities and assess his administration based on its performance.

“Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, is proof that good governance is possible. He can easily win a second term without much campaigning. Look at what the man is doing in Abia State,” Suleman said.

The cleric further argued that politicians who fail to make a visible impact while in office may be choosing not to do so, stressing that Otti’s administration demonstrates what he believes can be achieved through effective leadership.

Otti was elected governor of Abia State in the 2023 governorship election on the platform of the Labour Party and assumed office on May 29, 2023. INEC’s official report identifies Otti as the Labour Party candidate who won the Abia governorship election.

Suleman’s comments come amid increasing political attention ahead of the 2027 elections. Otti is seeking a second term, and recent reports show that some political figures have publicly expressed support for his bid.

In a separate development, Otti recently said he would not impose a successor or become a political godfather after completing his second tenure, maintaining that leadership succession should be based on selecting the most suitable candidate.

Suleman’s assessment therefore adds to the ongoing public discussion about Otti’s administration and the political contest ahead of the 2027 Abia State governorship election.
