During a routine inspection of infrastructure projects in Abia State, Governor Alex Otti demonstrated a rare act of compassion that has touched the hearts of many Nigerians. In the midst of the visit, a visibly distressed man ran toward the governor, crying out for help and saying he was hungry and unemployed.
Instead of ignoring the plea or allowing security to move the man away, Governor Otti stopped, listened attentively, and engaged with him. Witnesses say the governor reassured the man and immediately instructed his aides to take him aside for assistance.
The emotional moment, captured on video and widely shared on social media, has drawn praise from citizens across the country. Many have commended Otti for his humility, empathy, and willingness to address real human suffering in the middle of official duties.
This incident has become symbolic of the kind of leadership many Nigerians yearn for—one that is people-centered and responsive. Governor Otti, known for his reform-driven approach, has repeatedly emphasized that governance must directly impact the lives of the people.
For many, the governor’s response to the man’s plea wasn’t just a gesture—it was a message that leadership is about service, compassion, and listening to the voices that are often unheard.
