NDC Urges Alex Otti to Campaign for Peter Obi in 2027

Theo Abu Agada, the Director of New Media and Strategic Communications for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on Abia State Governor Alex Otti to spearhead the campaign for Peter Obi's 2027 presidential ambition. Agada emphasized that Otti was the biggest beneficiary of Obi's political momentum during the 2023 elections, where Obi, as the Labour Party candidate, ran for President and lost, while Otti was elected governor.

In an interview, Otti expressed his support for President Bola Tinubu but indicated he has his own presidential candidate for the upcoming election. When pressed about supporting Tinubu, Otti acknowledged his support but did not explicitly endorse him.

Agada criticized Otti for potentially backing Tinubu's policies, labeling him as an "enemy of the Nigerian people" if he does not support Obi's candidacy.
