The Abia State Governor-Elect, Dr Alex Otti, OFR, on Friday, March 21, 2023 announced the appointment of a group of prominent Abians as members of the Inauguration Committee for his swearing-in on May 29.

The 75-member committee is led by Hon Iheanacho Obioma, the State Campaign Coordinator of the Alex Otti Campaign Organisation.

The Inauguration Committee has eight sub-committees which include Finance, Programme, Venue, Logistics, Protocol, Security, Entertainment and Media & Publicity.

A release signed by Kazie Uko, Otti’s Media Aide, said the governor elect, while inaugurating the members at the Banquet Hall of his residence in Umuehim, Nvosi, Isialangwa Local Government Area, urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them by organising hitch-free, peaceful and befitting events.

Some of the events being planned are the handing over ceremony, the Interdenominational Christian Service, and Muslim Jumat.
