Otti dumps APGA for APC

All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Abia State governorship
candidate in the 2015 and 2019 elections, Dr. Alex Otti has dumped
the party he financed in the past five years for the All
Progressives Congress (APC).

Otti’s political associate, Chief David Ogba (Bourdex) who
contested the Abia North senatorial zone seat in 2015 and 2019 on
the platform of APGA, had already joined APC, while another of his
political associates, Chief Chris Nkwonta, who vied for the Abia
South senatorial district seat on the platform of APGA in the last
election, is also expected to join APC alongside Otti.

Otti, former managing director/chief executive of defunct
Diamond bank, contested the governor of the state on the platform
of APGA in 2015 and 2019 is believed to have joined APC with his
numerous supporters in the state.

The ex-banker investigation revealed had already registered in
his ward and was waiting for the appropriate time to make his move
and that of his supporters over to APC public.

A chieftain of the APC in the state who wouldn’t want his name
in print confirmed that Otti had joined the party, although it had
not been made public due to logistics reasons.

The party chieftain said but for the coronavirus and the
subsequent lockdown, APC in the state could have received the
former APGA governorship candidate into the party in the first week
of April, stressing that plans are still afloat to formerly receive
Otti and his group into APC.

According to the party chieftain, “APC Abia chapter had
concluded plans to receive Alex Otti and his supporters into the
party in the first week of April at the Umuahia Township stadium,
but for the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, after this period of
the coronavirus, we are going to formerly receive him and his
supporters into APC at an elaborate reception”.

When contacted, Otti’s media aide, Ferdinand Ekeoma could not
confirm or deny the report.

Ekeoma said his principal would in due course make public his
decision on the issue.
