‘We will never negotiate with criminal politicians who destroyed Abia’ —Gov Otti

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has declared that his administration will not negotiate with those he described as ‘criminal politicians’ who destroyed the state in the past due to their inordinate and destructive ambitions.

Otti who stated this in two separate Church services at The Master’s Vessel Church, Umuahia North and Power World Ministry Int’l, Umuahia on Sunday, said the rogue politicians, having failed in their attempts to lobby their way to become part of his administration, have resorted to blackmail and spreading of falsehoods.

Otti reiterated that the criminals whom he did not mention, have been concentrating their efforts at bringing down his administration through the spread of falsehoods because their calls for negotiation with his administration and lobby for inclusion in governance failed.

“And the next thing they do is to start attacking you thinking you would call them for negotiations. We are not doing anything wrong,” the governor said.

“Ours is a government that has integrity; we will never negotiate with criminals,” Governor Otti vowed.
