IMO & EDO: Gov. Otu & His Winning Strategies
Gov. Otu

The earth is lined with heroes whose extraordinary beats have attracted epic ovations with dripping awe like the des ex machina of the Aristotelian drama. Expressed in human forms are deities, idols and avatars who have mesmerized mankind with manoeuverings moulded from mountainous minds. Inspired accounts of bravery, loyalty, wisdom , tact and leadership have separated gods from other mortals. From Gedmronimo, Mahabharata, Shaka Zulu, Mwindi, to Hercules, Theseus and Odin, the hall of fame of legendary displays of daunting valour is thick. The game of politics demands a combo of calculus, gift of the garb and braincells of Socrates and Cicero. The gamers on all sides play it with the passion of the chess , the artistry of the gladiators and the wits of the sages. In the end, a winner is announced in vertical verdict. In most climes, the process will end in legal fireworks firing finality to the furnace of contest.

The above background foregrounds the trajectories of the Sweet Prince, the politically savvy King of the ballots who is addicted to wining where others struggle, no matter the odds the King will pull the votes to the ballots. In Cross River, Imo and Edo his wining testimonials speak volumes about his masterful leadership at its best performances. In a span of years he has been in the acts of winning for himself, three times in the nation's national Assembly and recently as governor.The 2023 Governorship election in Cross River State was extremely tight. APC which had the state as its only win was set against the biggest PDP fathers in the state/region plus the fiercesome Labour obedients. Like the Olympic marathon major, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu emerged with astounding score mark.

Henceforth, he was spotted in the political planet in Nigeria as the man with the Midas touch. Governor Otu goes into any political contest with a winning pedigree, strategy, passion, mantras and scripts reminiscent of a first class student at his final exams. He draws a map round the opposition and launches a lethal idea based communication that changes the dynamics to his favour. He courageously mounts his winning strategies within the balloting territory and unleashes what the voters need to hear. In the end, they send their votes to where the Sweet Prince ask them to do so, this is characterized by unspeakable grace.

APC as a political party tries to avoid gambling in the choice of the person to lead its campaigns in the off cycle elections. The party has settled for Senator Otu as the man for the job because he does it with impeccable precision. He did it at Imo State and has done it in Edo. The question is where is the next? As all eyes are now fixed on Ondo State, it remains to be seen if the Party will still settle for the Ballot Prince Charming or will want to try another hand. For now, Gov. Otu has already carved a niche for himself as the man who won two states for his party APC in brain racking contests. This is the birthmark of *The King of the Ballot,* born with the billions of gigabytes for victory at the polls. With this winning streak the coast is clear, the future is bright and Prince Otu is standing out with a national clean slate in elections delivery.

Hurrah to the Sweet Prince, THE KING OF THE BALLOT!
