An economist and chieftain of the Labour Party in Abia state Chief Alex Otti, has clinched the governorship ticket of the party. He polled a total number of 454 votes to emerge unopposed during the governorship primary election of the party in Umuahia the state capital on Wednesday. In his acceptance speech, Otti said that he was prepared to move Abia from an era of bad governance to an era of prosperity. He assured his supporters that victory was assured for the party in the forthcoming general election while soliciting their support for the party to achieve the feats. I, therefore, urge you to join me as we work hard to win the 2023 governorship election and make life easier for our people.
