Akpabio Praises Governor Otti, Invites Him to Join APC for 'More Praise'
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has commended Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, for his leadership, particularly in celebrating Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe's 70th birthday. Speaking at the event organized by the Abia State Government, Akpabio described Otti as a leader whose generosity and governance style have positively impacted the people of Abia.
The Senate President lauded Otti for setting aside political differences to honor Abaribe, stating that the move demonstrated political maturity and had endeared him to the people of Abia South. Akpabio acknowledged Otti's growing influence, emphasizing that his ability to unite different political interests was commendable.
However, his remarks took a political turn when he hinted that Otti would receive even greater recognition if he joined the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). "The day you join the APC, you will hear my full praise and see how I will celebrate you," Akpabio remarked, suggesting that political alignment could enhance Otti’s standing at the national level.
Otti, a former banker turned politician, secured the Abia governorship under the Labour Party (LP) and has been praised for his governance style. While he has not indicated any plans to switch parties, Akpabio's statement highlights ongoing efforts by the APC to woo influential opposition leaders into its fold.
