2027: Battle brew in Abia as Ex-Gov takes on Otti

Ahead of the 2027 general election, there’s rising political tension in Abia State, with some opposition leaders in the State hell-bent on stopping Governor Alex Otti’s re-election.

The opposition figures, many of whom previously held power in the state, have threatened that Otti will not be reelected for a second term as governor in 2027.

These figures also have been holding political meetings and issuing public statements against Otti’s administration.

It was recall that last week, two former Governors of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu and Chief Theodore Ahamefule Orji, alongside other former political leaders, said they have formed an alliance to unseat Governor Otti in the 2027 general election.

According to them, they intend to win all elective positions in Abia for the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The duo met in Umuahia and resolved to forge a common front they christened, ‘The Team,’ a platform for their political battle against Otti and other anti-APC interests.

In addition, the group signalled that it will institute a legal action against Otti for allegedly running Abia from his Nvosi country home instead of the Government House, Umuahia.

Kalu described the assembly as a platform for experienced leaders who want to reclaim their relevance in the state’s political landscape.

The Abia north senator rejected narratives portraying previous governments as ineffective, insisting that their legacies live on.

The former Abia governor said: “Leadership is a relay. I handed over to Senator T.A. Orji, who handed over to Okezie Ikpeazu. No single individual can claim we achieved nothing. If we did nothing, where would our people be today?”
