 For the governor-elect of Abia State, Alex Ooty has given his acceptance speech moments after his victory was made official by INAG. Appreciated in indigents and non-indigents who participated in the polls, he noted that his victory came after three attempts to become governor. Ooty saluted the industry and the resource-owners of all residents, both religious and traditional institutions, among others. Even as I come out of a bruising and long-run-out campaign, I know that this is just the beginning of the journey. There's a lot of work to be done and we must get our hands on deck to ensure that we take back our state and bring the much sought-after dividend of democracy. You voted us to serve you and not to be served. You voted us to alleviate your sovereigns and not to compound and multiply them. This is a servant that comes with an unusually high sense of devotion and commitment, giving a check hard history of the people. During my election-hiring campaign, I traveled all nooks and crannies of Abia State, and that enabled me to have first-hand assessment of the needs and expectations of Abia. These are the basic things expected by the people who are responsible government to provide in order to unleash the potential inherent in the typically hard-working Abians. Based on my findings and those of my team members, it's on the nooks that an immediate hands-on approach is required to hit the ground running and to ensure that we alleviate the sovereigns of all Abians. I promise you that I will serve you as governor of all Abians and all citizens living in Abia, irrespective of land, religious situation or political living.
