Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has stated that while he currently has no intention of leaving the Labour Party (LP), he is not ruling out the possibility in the future.
Speaking during an interview on Arise TV today, Governor Otti addressed growing speculation about his political future amid ongoing realignments in the nation’s political landscape.
“I’m not God to say that I will remain in LP or leave LP.
“As we speak, the objective conditions today do not make it for me to leave LP. Tomorrow, anything can change. If I’m going to take any decision, it will be made in full consultation with the Abia people.” He said.
His comments come at a time when political observers have been closely monitoring the movements of key figures within the Labour Party following the 2023 general elections.
Otti, widely considered one of the most prominent elected officials under the LP platform, has been seen as a pivotal figure in the party’s growth, especially in the South-East.
Governor Otti, a former banker turned politician, was elected on the platform of the Labour Party in 2023, defeating candidates from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in what was hailed as a landmark victory for LP in the region.
He reaffirmed that his focus remains on delivering good governance to the people of Abia, noting that his political alignment would always be subject to their collective interest and input.
