The South East national vice chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Augustine Ehiemere, has urged Abia State governor, Alex Otti, to return to the party.
Ehiemere made the appeal when he addressed the Abia South Senatorial District APGA stakeholders’ meeting in Umuahia, the state capital, ahead of the 2027 general election.
He described APGA, on whose platform Otti contested the 2015 governorship election, as his true political home and the most stable platform for sustainable governance.
He cautioned him against aligning with what he termed as unstable political platforms, asserting that the APGA remains “the healthiest and most stable political party in the country.”
”We are calling on him to leave the Labour Party (LP) and return to his political home, APGA, where he contested the 2015 governorship election and made a remarkable impact,” he said.
The onetime state APGA chairman noted that “the LP is currently a breeding ground for crisis, African Democratic Congress is in disarray, and the All Progressives Congress is not a safe option.’
”The People’s Democratic Party is already diminished. Only the APGA provides the ideological consistency and stability he needs to continue delivering good governance.”
The vice chairman, who lauded Otti for the recent launch of the state’s security fund, commanded his Enugu State counterpart, Peter Mba, for attending the event.
Furthermore, he expressed delight with his prompt payment of salaries and pensions, underlining the need for him to clear outstanding gratuities owed to retirees.
”Finally, I encourage our members across the district, in particular and the state in general, to remain committed to our principles and vision,” Ehiemere concluded.
