Lot denied his identity to caress his
wife, Esau denied his identity for a
piece of porridge meal, Tamar
denied her identity to avenge his
father-in-law, Peter denied his
identity to abscond from the Jews.
Right from the bible times people
denied their identities to gain
advantage of one thing or the other
without considering the implicit
costs of such actions. Here in Abia
State Alex Otti is not left out.
Reliable facts shows that Mr. Alex
Otti who claimed that he hails from
Isiala Ngwa local government area
of Abia State has incurred the wrath
of political historians as they
recently challenged him to come
forward and show them his family
house and father’s compound to
ascertain his claim.
According to our source who also
happens to be a resident of the
Umuru Umuehim village, Ngwa, Abia
State, “Otti’s father, Lazarus who
was a Pastor of the Seventh Day
Adventist church was from
Arochukwu but migrated to Umuru,
Umuehim community where he
was given
a land to build in the olden days.
Everyone knows how Aro people
migrate, anywhere they are
accepted becomes their home. Alex
Otti is from Arochukwu and not a
freeborn of Umuru Umuehim let
alone Ngwa land.
“He is claiming to be from Ngwa
land to enable him contest the
governorship election. Does it not
surprise you that Alex Otti built his
first house in Arochukwu before
recently built another one in
Umuru, Umuehim; perhaps to
enable him qualify for the contest”.
The very furious source also
fingered the traditional ruler of Isi
Eketa
Autonomous community, Eze
Nelson Achilefu Nmerengwa as one
of the powers behind the plot to
‘fully make Otti a freeborn Ngwa
son’ among other monarchs in the
deal on which the latter was
allegedly settled with a princely
sum.
The Umuru, Umuerim clans are
threatening to drag Otti to court for
alleging that he hails from their
place when in the actual sense he is
from Arochukwu.
