The Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has said he is at present a member of the Labour Party, adding: “Nobody knows tomorrow.”
Governor Otti stated this on Thursday during the January 2026 edition of his monthly interaction with the media.
He spoke on the crisis rocking the Labour Party, adding that Julius Abure was gone for good as national chairman.
He said: “We are on the right side.
“We have maintained that Abure’s tenure has expired and we went to court, which affirmed that.
“So, the Court judgment confirmed actually that his tenure has expired and advised people to obey court decisions to save the courts from unnecessary troubles.
“We are not in the election period.
“If election comes, we will still run under the Labour Party, but nobody knows tomorrow.
“But today, I am still in the Labour Party.”
Commenting on reported plans by former governors to sue him over his decision not to reside in the Abia State Government House, Otti said he is prepared to face any legal action for operating from his country home in Nvosi, Isialangwa South Local Government Area.
He said: “Well, I am waiting to be sued.
“My lawyers are prepared.
“I have looked at the constitution, there is no provision that I must live somewhere.
“But then, the state in which they left the Government House was…
“I am sure you are aware of this.
“I don’t owe them that explanation.”
