Abia State Governor, His Excellency, Dr Alex Otti, OFR, has once again reaffirmed his unwavering belief that power belongs to God, stressing that he takes instructions from Him before taking action and will not do anything that is not approved by God.

Governor Otti stated this on Sunday, October 18th, at the headquarters of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, Chosen Estate, Amuwo Odofin, Oshodi/Apapa Expressway, Ijesha, Lagos State, where he worshipped with the Church. The visit was in fulfillment of his promise to the General Overseer, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, during one of his visits to Abia, that he would worship with the congregation whenever he was in Lagos and had the opportunity to do so.

Referencing Psalm 62:11, the Governor, during his introduction and invitation to greet the congregation, said, “For those of us who have very strong Christian Foundation. And mark my word, VERY STRONG; why do I say so? It’s because my late father was a pastor, and he was Pastor Lazarus Otti. So you can understand, am a Levite.

“Our foray into politics is because we believe that power belongs to God. God has spoken once, twice have I had it that power belongs to God.

“We take instructions from God, if it is not right, we will not do it, if God does not approve it, we will not do it,” Governor Otti declared.

Governor Otti, whose presence electrified the worship arena, has consistently stated at different fora that his government will not deliberately engage in any wrongdoing.

On Saturday, while worshipping at the Unity Chapel, Government House, Umuahia, where he observed the Sabbath worship, the Governor made it clear that God is the foundation of his government. He stressed that he would not approach anybody or any institution, whether the State House of Assembly or the Judiciary, with a request to do what is wrong.

According to the Governor, doing the right thing is the only way to sleep peacefully. Even when called upon at night, one would be able to speak confidently without stuttering.

The number one citizen of the State, who first visited the house of God after receiving his certificate of return as the duly elected Governor on March 22, 2023, four days after failed attempts to steal the mandate overwhelmingly given to him by Abians, has continued to commit his personal affairs and the affairs of the State into God’s hands.

Speaking to the super excited worshippers, Governor Otti stated that the days when Abia was a laughingstock and Abians were ashamed to identify as Abians, before he took over in 2023, were gone. He invited anyone in doubt to come and see the transformation, as the congregation responded with thunderous applause and excitement in agreement.

Governor Otti thanked the Founder and General Overseer of The Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries, Pastor Lazarus Muoka, and the members of the Church for the opportunity to worship with them.

Pastor Muoka, led the congregation in fervent prayers for the Governor and the greater success of his administration.
