Gov. Alex Otti’s Return To APC Will Take Abia Into Nigeria’s Mainstream Politics – Chris Akachukwu

Abia State born entrepreneur and Founder of The Team Nwa-Abia Movement, Chief Chris Akachukwu (Ihe Ohuhu) has opined that the Executive governor of Abia State, Dr Alex Otti defecting back to the All Progressives Congress (APC), will push the state into the mainstream of Nigeria politics and reposition it also in terms of economy.

Recall that Otti dumped the APC and joined Labour Party where he contested for the 2023 governorship election in Abia state and won as the 5th democratically elected governor of the state.

Speaking to newsmen in Umuahia, Chief Akachukwu said if the speculations that Otti is likely to return to APC becomes a reality, Abians will lose nothing adding that “Abia state must not be seen to lag behind again in the comity of states due to complacency.”

The former house of assembly candidate of the Action Peoples Party (APP), for Umuahia North State Constituency stressed that the people of Abia should try and look at the bigger picture in terms of what the state stands to benefit, and not about Gov Otti’s interest as some people might want to believe.

He noted that many of the party stalwarts who left the APC ahead of the 2023 General Election are returning to the party’s fold, adding that given the present political dynamics, it will serve the Abia interest more if Otti heads back to the APC at this moment in history.

“So, I’ll support the Governor to return to his former party, APC because of what it can do for Abia and help Governor Otti achieve in the long run”, Akachukwu, a former chieftain of the APC said.
