Gov.Otti speaks on joining APC

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has denied reports claiming he has left the Labour Party (LP) to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Rumours had spread on social media suggesting that the governor had defected to the APC.

However, in a statement, the Abia State Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, described the story as false and the work of political opponents who are unhappy with Otti’s achievements and popularity.

He said Governor Otti remains a proud member of the Labour Party, the party through which the people of Abia elected him.

The governor, he added, is focused on rebuilding the state, promoting accountability, and delivering good governance to every citizen.

Prince Kanu reminded the public that during the governor’s recent media program, “Governor Alex Otti Speaks to Abians,” Otti clearly stated that he is not interested in political games or defections but in serving the people and transforming Abia State.

He explained that Otti’s leadership is guided by transparency, discipline, infrastructure renewal, economic growth, youth empowerment, and public trust  all values that align with the Labour Party’s principles.

The Commissioner urged the public to ignore the false report, calling it cheap propaganda meant to distract from the progress being made in the state.

He concluded, “Governor Alex Otti remains committed to building a new Abia founded on truth, justice, and equity under the banner of the Labour Party.”
