Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has rubbished reports of dumping the Labour Party, LP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC. He recently described the report as a fabrication by political propagandists.
In a press statement via the Abia State Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, he revealed that the falsehood is the handiwork of people who are unsettled by Otti’s consistent delivery of good governance.
According to him, Otti remains a committed member of the Labour Party, and his growing popularity across party lines is the reason why false reports keep popping up to tarnish his image.
He stated that the publication is nothing but a desperate attempt to distract the people and sow seeds of confusion where none exist.
“Governor Alex Otti remains a committed and proud member of the Labour Party, the platform under which the good people of Abia overwhelmingly elected him to serve.
His focus remains unshaken, to rebuild Abia, restore accountability, and deliver the dividends of democracy to every citizen of the state.
It is important to remind the public that only last week, during the October edition of “Governor Alex Otti Speaks to Abians,” the Governor made it unequivocally clear that his interest is not in political permutations or defections, but in service to humanity and the transformation of Abia State. He reaffirmed that leadership, to him, is about impact, not political convenience.
The Otti-led administration has continued to pursue a clear vision anchored on transparency, fiscal discipline, infrastructure renewal, economic growth, youth empowerment, and the restoration of public confidence in governance.
These are values synonymous with the Labour Party’s ideals, values that the Governor will never compromise for any political expediency,” it read.
Kanu further urged Nigerians to disregard the false report and treat it as another cheap propaganda orchestrated by Otti’s detractors.
The commissioner concluded by saying that their evil plan to divert attention from the progress being recorded in Abia state will fail.
“We wish to assure Abians that Governor Alex Otti remains resolute in his mission to continue to build a new Abia where truth, justice, and equity prevail under the banner of the Labour Party,” it added.
