‘It Is The Only Way You Can Ensure We Don’t Go Back To Egypt’ – Gov. Otti Tasks Aba Residents On Voters Registration

Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has warned Aba residents against shunning voters’ registration, stating that such a mistake could return the state to Egypt.

Naijaonpoint reports that Otti, while speaking at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Abayi Ariaria, Aba, during a church service, expressed dissatisfaction with the low number of votes from Aba during elections, stating that the figures do not reflect the city’s large adult population.

Governor Otti charged Aba residents to register in the ongoing continuous voters’ registration exercise and also to mobilise their families and friends to register and vote.

He warned the people that failure to register and vote means voting for the wrong person.

He said, “I want to appeal to you, if you see the number in Aba and the number of votes that come out from Aba, it is like darkness and daylight. So, I want to charge you, if you have not registered, please go and register.

“It is important; the only way you can ensure that we don’t go back to Egypt is for you to vote. You cannot vote if you are not registered.

“If you do not vote, you have voted for the wrong people. I’m not the one who said it, somebody said it not voting is voting for the wrong person.”
