The source states that he previously ran for governor on the APGA platform, and that the Court of Appeal in Owerri on 31 December 2015 removed Okezie Ikpeazu and declared Otti winner of the April 11 and April 25 elections, before the Supreme Court reversed that decision on 3 February 2016 and affirmed Ikpeazu's election.

According to the same profile, he left APC and joined the Labour Party in May 2022, became the party's governorship flag bearer unopposed, and in the 2023 general election defeated the PDP candidate to emerge governor of Abia State. The account says he defeated Okey Ahiwe, with results declared by returning officer Nnenna Oti.
