- He noted that leadership tussles were not inevitable in political parties but stressed that the Labour Party had settled its issues and emerged stronger
Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has assured the public that the leadership crisis rocking the Labour Party is now a thing of the past.
He gave the assurance when he spoke at the flag-off of the 13.9-kilometer Onuinya–Okporoenyi–Oboro Ikwuano road project, connecting agrarian communities in Bende and Ikwuano Local Government Areas.
Otti, who debunked rumours about the party’s disintegration, stated that the party remains united and stronger, despite leadership challenges.
He noted that leadership tussles were not inevitable in political parties but stressed that the Labour Party had settled its issues and emerged stronger.
“There’s nothing to worry about Labour Party. The party is intact. Disagreements happen everywhere, but the key point is reaching a resolution. The party is bigger than any single individual, and I can tell you that LP is now united and stronger,” Otti affirmed.
The Governor expressed confidence in the party’s bright future as they prepare for the 2027 elections.
Governor Otti highlighted the strategic importance of the road project in fostering agricultural growth and improving food production in the state.
“The road will connect major cocoa, palm oil, cassava, and rice-producing areas, giving farmers better access to transport their produce to cities for economic gains. No part of Abia will be left behind,” he assured.
Otti explained that two construction firms were contracted to ensure the road’s completion within six months. He promised the road would meet the highest standards, complete with streetlights in built-up areas.
