Abia Governor Alex Otti Stays Committed to Labour Party

Alex Otti, the Governor of Abia State, articulated his reasons for staying in the Labour Party (LP) during an interview with Arise News Anchor Ojy Okpe. Otti stated that he chose not to leave the party amidst its internal disputes and court cases because he believes in addressing and resolving its issues.

He likened his commitment to staying in the party to not abandoning one's home in the face of an armed robbery, asserting that it is essential to solve problems rather than relocate. Otti acknowledged the possibility of further litigation but pointed out that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has already published its list of candidates, making any new court actions largely academic.

He expressed confidence in the party's position, stating that they have litigated up to the Supreme Court and are standing on the right side of the issues.
