Alex Otti Should Clarify His Presidential Preference
Governor Alex Otti should clearly state where he stands ahead of the next presidential election. The question is not whether he owes Peter Obi personal loyalty, but whether Abia voters deserve openness about the political direction of a governor who benefited from the Labour Party’s 2023 momentum. Otti can maintain a working relationship with President Bola Tinubu’s administration while supporting a different presidential candidate. Federal cooperation does not require political silence. If he supports Obi, Tinubu or another candidate, he should explain his choice and the reasons behind it. Reports that some members of his administration may be involved in Tinubu’s campaign activities also require clarification. Their actions may be personal and may not represent the governor’s position, but continued silence leaves room for speculation. Abians deserve a direct and consistent account of their governor’s political stance.
