Alex Otti finds his groove, floats Signature Bank

There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.” The above quote by the former president of South Africa, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela depicts the big dreams of Alex Otti, a former Group Managing Director (GMD) and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of now defunct Diamond Bank Plc, and the 2023 governorship candidate of Labour Party (LP) in Abia State.

Otti unceremoniously resigned his appointment at the bank in 2014, launching a career in politics, as he strived to lead his people out of the wilderness they had found themselves. Years after kick-starting his political career, the banker is yet to achieve his dream, as he marches on with his followers.

However, amidst his hunger to lead his people remains a burning passion for his first love, banking. This is what has prompted him to return to his game of old with the proposed introduction of Signature Bank Limited in the country.

Speaking at the unveiling of the bank, Otti said the bank was established with the aim of giving attention to the needs of the customers, as well as meeting and satisfying their desired financial yearnings.
