Alex Otti Declines to Oppose Tinubu's 2027 Bid
Abia State Governor Alex Otti expressed that openly opposing President Bola Tinubu's 2027 re-election bid could lead to an "implosion" within the government. During an interview with Arise Television, Otti, a member of the Labour Party and the National Economic Council (NEC), stated that his position in the NEC complicates any opposition to Tinubu's candidacy.
He clarified that while he has a presidential candidate within the Labour Party, he cannot publicly oppose Tinubu. Otti indicated that he would prefer to raise any disagreements regarding government policies in official meetings rather than through public opposition, as this could create internal divisions.
He acknowledged that some of Tinubu's policies, such as the removal of the petrol subsidy, align with his views, although he noted that others may disagree with him on this issue.
