There are indications that the Abia State
governorship candidate of the All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA), Mr. Alex Otti, has
initiated moves to align with the All Progressives
Congress (APC) to secure victory at the poll.
Otti was sighted on Wednesday night at the
venue of the meeting of APC leaders where he
held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the
APC in Abuja.
The meeting which took place at the new Rivers
State governor’s lodge on Hassan Kastina Street,
Asokoro, had prominent leaders of the party in
attendance.
The APGA governorship candidate emerged a
frontline contender after running in a close
contest with his rival, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on the number
of votes so far collated and announced by the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) in the April 11 election.
It was learnt that as a last minute strategy to
gain electoral advantage over the main
challenger, Otti might have sought a working
arrangement with the APC in the run up to
Saturday’s re-run election.
We reliably gathered that the meeting
might also not be unconnected with his possible
defection to the APC.
