Otti expressed dismay over the prolonged non-payment of pensions under previous administrations, highlighting the emotional toll it took on retirees who dedicated their productive years to serving the state.

Expressing gratitude to the Nigerian Union of Pensioners for their trust in his leadership, Otti reiterated his commitment to the welfare of Abia residents, highlighting the state’s transformation into one of the safest in the country.

He encouraged both natives and visitors to explore investment opportunities in Abia without fear, assuring them of a conducive environment for growth and development.
