The National Vice Chairman, South East, of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Augustine Ehiemere, has urged Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, to return to APGA, describing it as his true political home and the most stable platform for delivering sustainable governance.
Ehiemere made the call during the Abia South Senatorial District APGA stakeholders’ meeting held in the state last week.
The APGA National Vice Chairman, South East, appealed to the governor to resist the temptation of aligning with other political parties, which he said are either unstable.
“APGA remains the healthiest and most stable political party in Nigeria today,” Ehiemere stated.
“We are calling on Governor Alex Otti to return to his political home, APGA, where he started.
“Labour Party is presently a breeding ground for crisis. ADC is almost in disarray, APC is not a safe ground for him, and PDP has already diminished. APGA is the only platform that offers stability and ideological consistency for him to continue his good works,” said Ehiemere.
He commended Governor Otti’s performance in office, particularly in the area of security and welfare, and supported the collaboration between the Abia governor and his Enugu State counterpart, Peter Mbah, as well as the establishment of the Abia State Security Trust Fund.
He also lauded the governor for the prompt payment of salaries and pensions, but reminded him of the pressing need to clear outstanding gratuities of retired workers.
Speaking further, Ehiemere urged APGA members across Abia South and the entire state to remain firm and committed to the party’s ideals.
It would be recalled that Alex Otti was the governorship candidate of APGA in Abia State in the 2015 and 2019 elections.
