Abia North Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has warned that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is poised to unseat Governor Alex Otti in the 2027 elections. Speaking at a recent gathering, Kalu urged the governor to “write his will,” emphasizing the party’s readiness to take control of the state. The former governor of Abia State pledged to campaign extensively, going door‑to‑door to ensure Otti’s defeat.
Kalu’s remarks were a direct response to Otti’s earlier comment that those hoping to succeed him should prepare their wills. “Tell him to go and write his will first because we are taking over,” Kalu retorted, describing Otti as a “joker” who lacks a deep understanding of politics, attributing this to his background as a banker. He confidently asserted that Otti would serve only one term, adding, “Abia people will speak in one voice. We don’t allow people to rig elections here.”
The exchange highlights an intensifying political landscape in Abia State as the 2027 elections approach. The APC, led by Senator Kalu, is gearing up to challenge the incumbent governor, who is expected to seek re‑election. As the political climate evolves, the governor’s administration is likely to face increasing scrutiny and opposition.
Kalu’s statement underscores the APC’s commitment to gaining control of Abia State, while Governor Otti’s team will need to navigate heightened political activity and strategic campaigning. The outcome of this maneuvering will have significant implications for the state’s future governance and direction.
