Abia Tricycle Operators Union Backs Otti for Re-election

On October 9, 2026, members of the Abia State Tricycle Operators Union, Umuahia Zone, publicly endorsed Governor Alex Otti for a second term in the upcoming 2027 governorship election. This endorsement occurred during a solidarity march to Government House in Umuahia, where the union's chairman, Chinweotito Godson Appolos, praised Otti's administration for enhancing road infrastructure, which has significantly eased transportation operations and reduced maintenance costs for tricycles.

Appolos committed the union's support for Otti and other Labour Party candidates in the elections. Governor Otti, represented by his Chief of Staff, Caleb Ajagba, expressed gratitude for the support and highlighted the previous challenges posed by poor road conditions.

He urged residents to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to participate in the electoral process and advised them to evaluate political leaders based on their performance. The event was attended by other officials, including the state Commissioner for Transport, Isaac Chimezie Ukaegbu.
