Governor Alex Otti on Sunday says he remakns committed to fulfilling his campaign promises to Abia people.

Mr Otti said this at a thanksgiving mass in his honour at the Mater Dei Cathedral, Umuahia to thank God for his victory at the Supreme Court on Friday.

He urged Abians to keep praying for his government, promising that he will not disappoint them.

He said, “You should continue to pray for us. Remember us in your prayers, day and night. And our commitment is that we will not disappoint you.”

The governor attributed his Supreme Court victory to God’s divine intervention and daily prayers by the Church.

He said in appreciation of the support he received from the church during the campaigns, he hurried down to the cathedral to thank God soon after INEC declared him the winner of the March 18, 2023 governorship election.

“We may have fought hard, we may have been resilient, we may have worked very hard but if God did not sanction it, I will not happen.

“We have, therefore, come here to thank God, thank the men and women of God, thank the children of God that are here,” Mr Otti said.
