He urged the youths to live exemplary lives as “the salt of the earth and the light of the world,” referencing Matthew 5:14. Jonah further advised Catholic youths to remain focused, avoid distractions, and engage in activities that promote their spiritual and moral growth, thereby contributing to the growth of the Church.

According to him, Governor Otti has ushered in a new era of peace, accountability, and people-oriented governance. He praised the administration’s focus on rural transformation, agricultural development, entrepreneurship, and fiscal discipline, noting that it has restored public confidence in government and expanded economic opportunities for Abians.

He, however, appealed to the governor to fulfill the few remaining campaign promises made to the Catholic youth, particularly in the area of empowerment.

Also speaking, Ambassador John Nwigwe dismissed opposition claims of underperformance, affirming that Governor Otti’s inclusive style of leadership has brought peace and stability to Abia State.

Declaring the forum’s continued support for the governor beyond 2027, Amb. Nwigwe described the current administration as a “refreshing season of responsible leadership and economic renewal” under Dr. Alex Otti’s stewardship.
