Speaking during a church service at The Transforming Church in Abuja on Sunday, Governor Otti emphasized the importance of youth involvement in political leadership.
“Every society needs the leadership it deserves,” he stated, warning that if young people remain passive, they will leave the decisions about their futures in the hands of politicians.
Otti challenged the youth, saying, “Don’t shy away from politics. That is where decisions about your future are made.” He referenced Psalms 62:11 to underscore that power ultimately belongs to God and encouraged young people not to shy away from pursuing it.
“You can make significant changes if you have power,” he asserted, highlighting that political office provides the opportunity to impact lives on a larger scale.
The governor shared his personal journey, explaining that he transitioned from the banking sector in 2014 to politics to make a difference and implement innovative approaches.

Pastor Oye thanked Governor Otti for his visit and reiterated the church’s commitment to praying for leaders in positions of authority.
