Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has rejected claims suggesting he has abandoned the Labour Party (LP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
There are ongoing speculations circulating on social media that Otti has switched allegiance to the APC.
In a prompt reaction, the Abia State Commissioner for Information, Prince Okey Kanu, labeled the report as a fabrication by political propagandists disturbed by Otti’s ongoing commitment to good governance and his increasing popularity across various political affiliations.
The Commissioner emphasized that Otti remains a dedicated member of the Labour Party, asserting that the publication is a desperate effort to mislead the public and create confusion where none exists.
“Governor Alex Otti remains a dedicated and proud member of the Labour Party, the platform through which the good people of Abia overwhelmingly elected him to serve.
“His focus remains unwavering — to rebuild Abia, restore accountability, and deliver the benefits of democracy to every citizen of the state.
“It is essential to remind the public that just last week, during the October edition of Governor Alex Otti Speaks to Abians, the Governor made it abundantly clear that his interests lie not in political maneuvering or defections, but in serving humanity and transforming Abia State. He reiterated that leadership, for him, is about impact, not political convenience.
“The Otti-led administration continues to pursue a clear vision based on transparency, fiscal discipline, infrastructure renewal, economic growth, youth empowerment, and restoring public trust in governance.
“These values align with the ideals of the Labour Party, principles that the Governor will never compromise for any political gain,” the Commissioner stated.
He urged the public to dismiss the false report and regard it as yet another instance of cheap propaganda orchestrated by those seeking to divert attention from the progress being made in the state.
