Abia state Governor Dr Alex Otti says he will support candidates from another political party for the November 2 local government election in the state.
Governor Otti who is the only Labour Party elected Governor in Nigeria disclosed this through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Hon. Ferdinand Ekeoma in ABN TV show ‘Political Perspective’ monitored by
THE WHISTLER.
This comes on the heels of a report that the governor is courting the Zenith Labour Party as the crisis in the Labour Party continues.
He admitted that the Labour Party in Abia State is plagued with crisis, but stressed that irrespective of the political alignment of those who will be supported by the Governor in the elections, will emerge victorious.
Ekeoma clarified that primaries are intra-party activities governed by electoral laws, requiring party members to participate or challenge outcomes.
He responded to allegations of unfair primary processes, citing instances where stakeholders resolved issues through dialogue.
Ekeoma expressed confidence in the impending victory of Governor Otti-backed candidates in the November 2 local government elections, regardless of party affiliation.
He reaffirmed allegiance to the Labour Party, dispelling defection rumours.
