The Obidient Movement has alleged that former governors of Abia State, led by Senator representing Abia North at the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu, are plotting to remove Governor Alex Otti in the 2027 election.
The Movement, which addressed journalists on Wednesday through Abia State spokesperson, Chibuzor Obiesili and other members, alleged that the former Abia leaders are desperate in their bid to deliver the state to President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to the Obidient Movement, Otti was elected by the Abia people and has been performing in office.
The Movement emphasised that it was wrong for Kalu to declare that Governor Otti will not be re-elected for a second term, describing the threat as a fight against the Abia electorate.
Obiesili said, “It has come to the public knowledge that a meeting of former governors, alongside their former commissioners, a gathering reportedly engineered by the Senator Orji Uzor.
“The meeting where they reportedly stated their resolution to remove Dr Alex Otti in the 2027 general election and win Abia State for the APC and Tinubu respectively.”
The Obidient Movement also urged Otti to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 gubernatorial election.
Obiesili added, “We also want to use this opportunity call on you (Otti) to join ADC where our leader, Mr. Peter Obi, is and every other well meaning Nigerian politician is, for more united bloc votes which will not be divided.”
