The Group Managing Director/CEO of Diamond Bank Plc Dr. Alex Otti has voluntary retired in order to pursue his gubernatorial ambition in the forthcoming Abia State election.
A reliable source of the bank, who preferred anonymity disclosed to Daily Sun that the decision to step down from his lofty position would leverage him the ample opportunity to fully engage in the nitty-gritty of the political game to win in the 2015 governorship election in the state.
To this effect, the Board of the bank announced the appointment of Mr. Uzoma Dozie as its new Group Managing Director/CEO, which is subject to the approval of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
In an official statement released by the Bank’s Corporate Communications Department, Chairman of the Board of Directors, HRM Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe (the Obi of Onitsha) announced the changes in management stating that Mr. Dozie appointment was in recognition of his extensive managerial capabilities.
According to the statement, “We are pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Uzoma Dozie as the new Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Bank Plc in consonance with the Bank’s succession strategy and in recognition of Mr. Dozie’s wealth of banking knowledge.
Expressing that the outgoing GMD/CEO will be sorely missed, Igwe Achebe extolled Dr. Alex Otti’s enviable achievements in the Bank, describing his tenure as “the brightest years of Diamond Bank’s 24 year-history”.
Finally, Abia has hope for a man with intellect and integrity goes for the post.
