The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, says he is not in a position to oppose President Bola Tinubu’s candidacy come the 2027 general elections. Otti stated this on Friday during the March edition of his monthly media chat, following a recent statement by the member representing Isialangwa North and South in the National Assembly, Ginger Onwusibe, who said the state governor would not oppose Tinubu’s re-election. Reaffirming the statement, Otti said, “I am not in a position to oppose the candidacy of the President. So would it be appropriate for me to rationalise my answer and say that somebody else should not have his? “We will be having our congresses leading all the way to the convention any time from now.
