Kalu urges Otti to join APC ahead of 2027.
Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, has been actively encouraging Governor Alex Otti of Abia State to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general election. Otti, who was elected in 2023 under the Labour Party (LP) platform, has been praised by Kalu for his outstanding performance and commitment to the development of Abia State.
Kalu argues that Otti would be more effective in serving the people of Abia under the APC, which he describes as the “party to beat” in 2027. Kalu is confident that the APC will win the governorship in Abia in the next election, emphasizing that the support and developments brought by President Bola Tinubu’s administration, such as the establishment of the South East Development Commission (SEDC), should be recognized and repaid with electoral support for the APC.
In a recent video that has gone viral, Kalu reiterated his belief that Abia would benefit more from aligning with the ruling party, especially as the LP faces internal challenges. He also highlighted the precedent set by former Governor Theodore Orji, who joined the PDP after initially winning on a different platform, suggesting that Otti’s potential switch to the APC would be a strategic move that aligns with past political practices in the state. Kalu and other APC stalwarts believe that joining the ruling party before 2027 would not only strengthen Otti’s administration but also position him well for a successful bid for a second term.
