So when they’ll come out to vote in 2027, they’ll be clearly siding Otti, said Ginger Onwusibe, the member representing Isiala Ngwa North/South in the National Assembly.

Onwusibe, who spoke at Ohafia recently, said the LP governor has won the hearts of Abia. For Otti and all labour tickets in the ‘God’s own state”, the 2027 elections is a work-over, he said.

However, the lawmaker added a crucial clause to his hopes.

“Under a free and fair election, Labour Party before 2 O’clock on the election day must have won the 184 polling Wards in the State”, he said. But would the elections be free and fair?

Noting the ongoing alliance of PDP and APC in Abia, Onwusibe said the people aren’t afraid of it. He spoke of the emptiness of the alliance, saying that while LP counts it’s massive achievement, members of the alliance count on the connection to ruling APC.

“They are all thinking that the election will be rigged. They think because they are the party in the centre they are going to rig election but I can tell you that would not happen in Abia“, Onwusibe said.
