Abia State chapter of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has told Governor Alex Otti that his support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu should not be announced through his proxies.

The APC also said that the Abia Governor’s chances of getting re-elected is less than 30 per cent.

The party, which spoke through its Publicity Secretary, Uche Aguoru, on Monday, was reacting to the report where a member of the House of Representatives, Ginger Oneusibe of the Labour Party declared that Governor Alex Otti would deliver the votes for President Bola Tinubu’s victory in 2027.

APC claimed that the situation stemmed from desperate political survival tactics in the Governor’s camp.

“Rather than openly and boldly identifying with President Tinubu, he has chosen to deploy proxies to communicate supposed support.

“This sudden declaration of support is nothing more than a desperate and deceptive tactic aimed at political survival.

“It is clear that Governor Otti understands the reality on ground- that his chances of re-election are less than 30% even with all the social media sponsored deception,” Abia APC said.

The broom party, which boasted about having the capacity to give up to 90 percent votes for the President, urged President Bola Tinubu to disregard any misleading overtures but to rely on the party’s strength in Abia.
