Otti, who was speaking at the Michael Okpara Auditorium, during the send-off dinner organised by the State Government in honour of his immediate past Secretary to the State Government Prof. Kenneth Kalu, who left for a leave of absence last year and subsequently resigned his appointment to rejoin his family overseas, explained that the choice of Prof. Kalu was a deliberate one, saying that as a governor, his strength is in the people he chooses to work with him, adding that he was chosen based on capacity to deliver and not where he comes from.

Governor Otti who thanked him for the services he rendered to the state as the pioneer SSG under his administration, said that the paraphernalia of office is not as important as the office itself, emphasising that governance is about the people.
