The National Chairman of the Labour Party, LP, and the Chairman of the party’s screening committee, Senator Nenadi Usman, has disclosed that the committee has exempted the party leader and current Governor of Abia State, Chief Alex Otti, from the screening exercise.
While addressing the media regarding the results of the aspirants’ screening, Senator Nenadi mentioned that the party had previously acquired nomination forms for the governor, and that the waiver also included his exemption from the screening process.
She said, “Is it possible for the leader of the House to come for screening, just like it’s done in other parties? In the party that he nurtures?
“Well, we had waived off screening for him. We gave him a waiver. We took the forms and gave them to him and told him we didn’t expect him to pay anything for it. We also had a ceremony where we presented the forms to him. Not just his form, but several other forms.”
According to a report by DAILY POST, Otti, who is campaigning for a second term as Governor of Abia State, received his Labour Party nomination forms at no cost from the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Nenadi Usman.
Senator Usman praised Governor Otti for being a prominent representative of the Labour Party and for diligently upholding the party’s principles of Equal Opportunities and Social Justice in the administration of Abia State.
She emphasized that this gesture was a recognition of the governor’s exemplary performance in office and served as encouragement for him to persist in providing quality governance to the citizens of the state.
