A former Senate President, Dr Adolphus Wabara, has said the Abia State Governor, Dr Alex Otti, of the Labour Party (LP), would be welcomed into the party if he decides to join.
Wabara who is the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Taminu Turaki-led Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), attributed the scramble for Otti by political parties to his impressive scorecard during his tenure of about 32 months, stating that this would speak for him in 2027.
Wabara told newsmen that he was optimistic that Otti would prefer the PDP as the viable vehicle to actualise his second-term bid as governor, noting that Otti would be a big asset for any political party he joins.
He also said that the current efforts being made by the Tanimu Turaki-led National Working Committee (NWC) to reposition the PDP have made the party a more credible alternative for potential progressive governorship and other elective office aspirants in the 2027 election.
While stating that the South-East has remained a traditional stronghold of the PDP, Wabara predicted that Otti’s eventual defection to the party would brighten PDP’s chances and restore the zone as a major force in Nigeria’s political equation.
He acknowledged and lauded Otti’s numerous developmental strides across the state’s sectors, particularly in road infrastructure, healthcare, education, industry, security, and rural development.
Wabara said that intensive efforts were being made by PDP elders to reposition the party and return it to its number one party status in the country.
He lauded the governor for articulating and activating the Abia State 25-year development plan, describing it as a roadmap for a focused New and Greater Abia.
