2027: Otti warns supporters against disrupting opposition campaigns

Abia State Governor Alex Otti has warned his supporters against disrupting the opposition parties' campaign activities in the state. At the 2027 Labour Party campaign flag-off in Umuahia, Otti issued a public directive stating that opposition parties should be allowed to use public facilities, including the stadium, as long as they obtain the necessary approvals and make the required payments.

He emphasized that security agencies would arrest anyone attempting to obstruct legitimate political activities, regardless of whether the person was a Labour Party member. Otti advised political actors to focus on issues rather than personal attacks and reminded them that Abia had moved beyond campaigning on issues such as salary payments, road construction, and urban sanitation.

He cited the state's performance in various indices, including the Citizen Satisfaction Index and the State Performance Index, as proof of the state's progress. Otti urged supporters to take the campaign to every community and reminded them of their role in completing the journey that began 12 years ago in faith and optimism.
