The APGA Abia State governorship candidate, Dr. Alex Otti, has reacted to the Thursday's allegedly sponsored armed attack on his campaign team, declaring no intimidation would stop him from serving the people of the state.

In a statement released in Umuahia, the former Group Managing Director of Diamond Bank and first class graduate in economics from the University of Port Harcourt, called the attention of the public to what it described as politics of violence and intimidation allegedly being targeted at his campaign.

Dr. Otti added: “As is public knowledge, the government of Abia State has consistently deployed and unleashed the raw power, intimidation and all manners of Abia government brutality against my APGA governorship campaign and candidacy.

“Evidently, the regime of T.A. Orji and his cronies have become very desperate since their rounds of propaganda and strings of malicious lies using Abia government agencies to attack our surging, development agenda driven campaign have failed woefully.”

He predicted that “the feverish anxieties of TA & Co will evaporate on April 11, 2015 through the power of the popular votes of the long-suffering people of Abia State! No amount of intimidation and threats can overcome the will and determination of Ndi Aba, Enyimba city, of Ndi Abia as a whole to chart a new and better course; far away from the remnants of the Gov. T.A Orji brigade.”

He appealed to his supporters to remain steadfast and cast their vote for him and hi party.

“Victory is within reach; we've come too far, away from T.A’s Babylon!,” he assured.
