Abia State Governor Alex Otti has announced that he will not be collecting his salary for the next four years five months after his inauguration.
Governor Otti made the declaration on Monday at an event in Umuahia, the state capital, saying that he has not received a salary since taking office on May 29, 2023.
He explained that he decided to forego his salary because he does not need the money and can support his family with his own money.
“The speaker reminded me that I have not taken salary for four months, and I will not take for four years,” Governor Otti said. “I have only one wife and three children, and we can take care of ourselves.”
The governor rode to victory in the 2023 Abia State gubernatorial election by championing the cause of good governance.
