The Abia State government has debunked what it described as “a false and mischievous report” circulating on social media and some online platforms alleging that Governor Alex Chioma Otti, has defected from the Labour Party (LP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
A statement released by the Commissioner for Information, Okey Kanu, said that the report is nothing but a fabrication by political propagandists who are unsettled by the Governor’s consistent delivery of good governance and his growing popularity across party lines.
He said that the “baseless publication” is a desperate attempt to distract the people of Abia and sow seeds of confusion where none exists.
According to the Commissioner, Governor Otti remains a committed and proud member of the Labour Party, the platform under which the good people of Abia overwhelmingly elected him to serve.
