Visibly moved, Mazi Kanu thanked Governor Otti for the visit, praising his achievements in Abia State and likening his governance to that of the late Sam Mbakwe. Kanu emphasized his focus on good governance and the welfare of the people, praying for continued guidance for the Governor and his team.
Governor Otti was accompanied by key officials and Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, highlighting the significance of the visit.
