A Labour Party (LP) member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, has declared that Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, will support President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 elections, a move he claims will ensure victory for both leaders.
Onwusibe, who was widely recognized as the first recipient of the “Obi Wave” in 2023, made the revelation on Sunday in Bende, Abia State. His statement comes just weeks after Governor Otti was seen in a presidential handshake with President Tinubu, sparking widespread political speculation.
“Governor Alex Otti will support President Tinubu in the coming election. That way, Alex Otti will win, Tinubu will win,” Onwusibe told the gathering.
The lawmaker’s remarks have sent shockwaves through the Labour Party, which has remained the official platform of the Obidient movement. Onwusibe’s endorsement of a political alliance between Otti and the ruling APC marks a significant shift in the state’s political dynamics.
Neither Governor Otti nor the Labour Party national leadership has officially responded to the statement. However, political analysts suggest that the development could signal deeper realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The presidency has yet to comment on the lawmaker’s declaration.
