ALEX OTTI AND FALSE IDENTITY Lot denied his identity to caress his wife, Esau denied his identity for a piece of porridge meal, Tamar denied her identity to avenge his father-in-law, Peter denied his identity to abscond from the Jews. Right from the bible times people denied their identities to gain advantage of one thing or the other without considering the implicit costs of such actions. Here in Abia State Alex Otti is not left out. Reliable facts shows that Mr. Alex Otti who claimed that he hails from Isiala Ngwa local government area of Abia State has incurred the wrath of political historians as they recently challenged him to come forward and show them his family house and father’s compound to ascertain his claim. According to our source who also happens to be a resident of the Umuru Umuehim village, Ngwa, Abia State, “Otti’s father, Lazarus who was a Pastor of the Seventh Day Adventist church was from Arochukwu but migrated to Umuru, Umuehim community where he was given a land to build in the olden days. Everyone knows how Aro people migrate, anywhere they are accepted becomes their home. Alex Otti is from Arochukwu and not a freeborn of Umuru Umuehim let alone Ngwa land. “He is claiming to be from Ngwa land to enable him contest the governorship election. Does it not surprise you that Alex Otti built his first house in Arochukwu before recently built another one in Umuru, Umuehim; perhaps to enable him qualify for the contest”. The very furious source also fingered the traditional ruler of Isi Eketa Autonomous community, Eze Nelson Achilefu Nmerengwa as one of the powers behind the plot to ‘fully make Otti a freeborn Ngwa son’ among other monarchs in the deal on which the latter was allegedly settled with a princely sum. The Umuru, Umuerim clans are threatening to drag Otti to court for alleging that he hails from their place when in the actual sense he is from Arochukwu.
