Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has explained why he operates from home instead of the state government house, ABN TV reports.

According to him, he chose to work from home for the time being in order to manage the cost of governance.

Otti stated this during the weekend when he received the global leadership of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, led by Pastor Ted Wilson, who visited him in commemoration of the church’s centenary anniversary.

According to Otti: “Good governance starts with managing the cost of governance. If you’re not careful, the limited resources could be deployed to managing government rather than managing the governed.

“At the time we came in, in May, we found out that we were going to spend a whole lot of money fixing the Governor’s Office. Luckily, we have facilities here (at home) and are able to run from here.

“We will continue to do this until we have been able to deal with a lot of the hygiene problems, problems of health, problems of education and infrastructure, infrastructural decay, particularly in Aba, and a lot of the other hygiene problems we’re dealing with in the state.

“By the time we are finished with that and we have some elbow room, then we can now face the Governor’s Office. It’s not a priority.”

God bless you Mr governor

OTTI the scammer you are working from your private house, and yet you have collected house rent from ABIA STATE Government in millions to live in that same private house. Now you are claiming managing coast of governance as if you know what is good governernce.

Work From Home as A Governor

Better than okezie ikpeazu tho.

Was his predecessor working from home too?

I just don't get it. So the security votes goes to providing state paraphernalia of security constitutionally meant for the office of the Governor for his private residence while the facility that is purpose-built for it lie idle. For how long should this be permitted?

Can't we have a law in place to give a deadline to such practices because of how sensitive the office of the Governor is. He is already being accused of fleecing Abia state and now this. Smh. Check my signature for free stuffs!

I don't usually agree with you but you have my today.

Sensitive government informations and files should never be allowed into a private home. As a nation,we can not just be operating on the basis of "I know the best". There should be rules,rules which will overrule every individual choice

That's the kind of frugal mentality Peter Obi would have brought at Abuja to develop Nigeria not buying yacht, renovating used houses , buying 170m suvs, etc, as condict pipes to loot billions.

Oga you're not from Abia so shut up and don't talk about things you don't know. There's a reason why the man doesn't use the Government House. It has zero to do with saving costs like he said. The man is fighting for his life. The moment he starts using that office, o ti lo. He's done for. I'm not sure Ikpeazu even used it for one day. The diabolism and witchcraft that has been installed in that place ehhhh, it would take a combination of Oyedepo, Adeboye, Kumuyi, etc to cleanse the place.

Good move from governor Alex Otti

How long can Otti keep up with these shenanigans?

I thought Igbo people are all christians.

For those who don’t know, Abia has been paying for rent until Ikpeazu just built this nonsense He built as government house, it’s not even completed yet. Most abia governors collected rents and also operated from their hotel rooms. This man is different, he’s using the rent to achieve other things in the state.

When the righteous rule, the people rejoice.
Setting the example right.

The only working gov in the south East

Oshey!!!

yarimo, Alex Otti is not a Scammer

But I can understand your pain, because you have never in your entire life come across purposeful leaders especially not when you and encourage a notorious narcotics drug trafficker, a certified certificate forger to become president of Nigeria. A guinea pig student of government college lagos used to test run the school four years before it was founded.

You have been wired to believe that any individual who exhibit purposeful leadership is automatically a scammer.

Alex Otti had a distinguish career in the banking sector for decades before ing politics. He is here to work for the people of Abia. Know this and have peace

Any SW state comparable to Anambra minus Lagos the former nation's capital, name one state and don't quote that demonic IGR data, IGR that can't lift people out of abject poverty and continued borrowing, and while u choose ur state let's compare infrastructure, educational rank, out of state children, city structures

As big as Abia,and money spinning Aba is,the past governors could not build a befitting government house. Na waooooohhhh
Some things should not be made public biko..

is Lagos part of SE? Educate yourself SW is top of the food chain. Any other region comes a distance second.

I actually liked this otti but some of his utterances like this one make me doubt his sincerity. I just hope he is not playing on people's intelligence. How can you be working from home to cut cost of governance. The problem with governance in Nigeria has always been corruption and over bloated political appointees. He should stop playing to the gallery please.

The last time I visited Umuahia Shame catch me, I just hope this new governor will work sha
