Alex Otti, the governor of Abia State, has declared that he is in favor of President Bola Tinubu’s reelection.
Speaking on Friday during his monthly media chat, Otti claimed that since he is also running for reelection, he has no reason to oppose the President’s ambition for a second term.
He insisted that denying the same opportunity to another elected figure would be inconsistent.
“I am not in a position to oppose the President’s candidacy,” Otti declared. I’m not a presidential candidate.
Why would I be against his presidency? In addition, I’m looking for a second term. Is it appropriate for me to argue that someone else shouldn’t have theirs?
Otti rejected attempts to present his viewpoint in a partisan manner, pointing out that cooperation between the federal, state, and municipal governments is necessary for effective governance.
He contends that although conflicts may occur, judgments made within the system must be upheld in accordance with democratic ideals.
Additionally, the governor issued a warning against what he called politically motivated narratives intended to incite needless conflict, emphasizing that these viewpoints frequently fail to withstand examination.
Regarding his future in politics, Otti reiterated his dedication to the Labour Party, claiming that its internal problems have been fixed as a result of a Supreme Court ruling acknowledged by INEC.
“The party is back on its feet,” he declared, adding that congresses and a national convention are being planned.
