Abia State Governor Alex Otti has declared his support for the Labour Party’s presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Otti made this known during an interview with Arise TV aired on Friday.
The governor said his position was based on his membership of the Labour Party and his choice of candidate.
“I have a presidential candidate and it is expected that I support my candidate,” Otti said.
Otti also said President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has every right to seek another term in office.
According to him, there is no reason for him to oppose Tinubu’s re-election bid.
“He (Tinubu) has the right to run and nobody can stop him. But I’m in the Labour Party and for now, he has my support,” he said.
