AState Labour Party ( LP) governorsh­ip candidate, Dr. Alex Otti, has offered an insight on the role he intends to play in the newly establishe­d Signature Bank Plc, which was officially unveiled in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT).

Otti, who spoke during the unveiling ceremony of the bank, explained that his role is to provide support, experience and contact for the financial institutio­n.

He disclosed that he, alongside other founders of the bank, has put in place an experience­d board led by the former Chief Executive Officer ( CEO) of Shell Companies in Nigeria and current Chairman of Julius Berger, Dr. Mutiu Sunmonu,

He said: “Few people ha ve wondered if I am going to run the bank. Like a one- time president asked some time ago when he was being persuaded to run for the office a second time, ‘ how many presidents do you want to make out of me?’ I, therefore, ask, ‘ how many Managing Directors ( MDS) do you want to make out of me?’ I had done that over a decade ago , and I believe in giving opportunit­ies to the younger gener

ation.
