Support groups of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC under the aegis of Progressive League of Youth Voters and APC Solidarity Group have asked the Abia state Governor, Alex Otti to stop meddling in the internal affairs of Imo state, saying the state governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma has performed excellently and would succeed himself after the November 11 polls.
At a news conference Wednesday in Abuja, the APC chieftains led by Ambassador Audu Usman Shuaibu said it had become necessary to draw the attention of Nigerians to the activities of the activities of Mr Otti who they alleged “is set to invade Imo State with some members of the Labour Party during the Imo State gubernatorial elections”.
“How can a newly elected Governor who is yet to acclimatize himself with the doings of the office openly declare that the workaholic Governor of Imo State should prepare his handover notes? Here is a man whose victory is facing serious legal battle at the governorship election petition tribunal, instead of facing his challenges, Otti decided to stir up the polity by indirectly calling non state actors to invade Imo State.
“We feel concerned because Governor Otti’s home State is the International Headquarters of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB)and that of the dreaded Eastern Security Network, ESN. Any statement made by the Abia State Governor on Imo must be taken seriously.
