The Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, will be in Abia State on Tuesday to rally support for the party’s governorship candidate, Alex Otti. During his visit, Obi is expected to travel to Aba and the state capital, Umuahia, to thank supporters who voted for him in the recent election.
The trip was confirmed in a statement signed by Mr. Ferdinand Ekeoma, Special Adviser to Otti on Media and Publicity. Ekeoma noted that, during his previous visit to Abia, Obi emphatically pledged to return and campaign for Otti, emphasizing that both Otti and the people of Abia are dear to him and deserve his fullest support.
The statement read in part: “The Labour Party governorship candidate in Abia State, Chief Alex Otti, OFR, on behalf of his family, the Abia State Labour Party, and the Alex Otti Campaign Council, welcomes once again the Pride of the Nation and the Labour Party presidential candidate in the just‑concluded election, His Excellency Mr. Peter Gregory Obi, CON, to Abia State. As a mark of honour, Otti invites his supporters, Labour Party leaders and members, well‑wishers, friends, stakeholders, members of the Obedient Movement, public and civil servants, pensioners and patriots, traders and artisans, businessmen and women, religious leaders and members of various religious organisations, students and youths, people living with disabilities, members of academia, captains of industry, and the general public to come out en mass to give a rousing welcome to the giant from the East.
Obi, who is coming to Abia in solidarity with his long‑time friend and ally Dr. Alex Otti, will use the occasion to visit Aba, Umuahia, and selected local government areas, where he will interact with and thank Abians for the massive solidarity and support extended to him and the newly elected National Assembly members.”
