The state Pulicity Secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abia State, Hon. Felix Nkoro and other SWC leaders have told the Labour Party Governorship candidate in Abia state , Dr. Alex Otti that the star is pointing towards him as the next governor of Abia.
Hon. Nkoro made the remarks when he led a few other State Working Committee Members of the Party to endorse and declare support for the LP governorship candidate, Dr. Alex Otti, assuring him that the people of Abia have already chosen him because God's hand is upon him as the next governor of the state.
Speaking further , the APGA Publicity Secretary had this to say "There is confusion in APGA, as well as the other major parties in Abia State. We have noted that the star, like in the day that Jesus was born, is now pointing towards you. If you look at the ruling party, PDP, they are still having issues choosing their candidate with the death of the former candidate. As far as we know, they don't have any candidate, notwithstanding that they have nominated somebody.
"So, we believe God's hand is upon you and have therefore come to tell you that we're solidly behind you. We worked with you in 2015 while you were in APGA and you won the election even though the mandate was eventually stolen by PDP. Today, you are in Labour and the fortune of the party has changed for good. We have now left APGA to join you in Labour because there's something we see in you.
"The people of Abia State have already chosen you and God himself has also approved of your candidacy and so shall it be in Jesus name" he concluded.
Responding, Dr. Alex Otti who has generally been tipped to win the Abia governorship election thanked the APGA State Officials, for the endorsement, and made it clear that they took an intelligent decision, and at the most appropriate time.
In his word "There's a lot of work to do. The presidential election is in a week's time and that is when we'll test the strength of Labour Party. I'm very confident that we'll win that election and two weeks after, the governorship.
"We will give you assignments, there is nothing to worry about. The most important assignment is to ensure that the election is won. It is only when the election is won that we can talk about administering the state.
"Once again, I want to thank you for taking this very intelligent decision to join at this time. There are people who would join later, but for the wisdom to join at this time when the train has not moved, I want to congratulate all of you".
