The man has seen that he can't defeat Alex Otti.
LagosOrigin:
Governor Alex Otti is Peter Obi disciple and he's doing wonders in Abia state .. infact, Abia state is one of the fastest developing states in Nigeria today, all thanks to Peter Obi and his Excellency Governor Alex Otti.

APC looted Abia state to the ground till God used Peter Obi to liberate Abia state from the wolves in sheep clothing politicians in APC.

We must liberate Nigeria from the wickedness of APC in 2027 insha Allah.

All the “wonders” Alex Otti is doing in Abia State, when compare to most others states in Nigeria will amount to nothing, Yes, Abia state has been backward since creation and Alex Otti is doing his best to bring it out of that backwardness but then, stop this nonsense comparison. Almost ALL the states in the South South and Western region left the stage Alex Otti’s Abia is now about 2 decades ago…….

I mean, the things you are celebrating Alex Otti for, most of these southern states achieved those same things (even better), about 10 - 15 years ago and have since moved on to other issues of higher governance
It's obvious, you don smoke. Which southern states? Which 20 years ago. You're high.

Hon. Benjamin Kalu underrated Gov. Oti because he is the current vocal deputy speaker and he forgot that APC is weak in Abia State. His disagreement with Sen Kalu and polarized APC in Abia State
I don't think he would be able to retain the deputy speaker position after 2027 election and his church mind tod him that contesting against Gov Oti, the transformation governor that gave his wife a political appointment, would be a political suicide.
His best choice would be to abandon his governorship ambition and to be less vocal afterwards.

I see that Nigerians particularly my Abians are heavily in for a grave mistake if they politicize Otti's relevance.
Although Nigerian politics being what it is, sucks!

He's very aware that APC as of now can't win Abia Governor. He should go and clear his name in South Africa. But, wait ooo I am still amazed that this federal government prefers working with people with questionable characters - either drug, or one crime or the other.

Believeintruth:
You think Otti will go against the wishes of igbos in Abia. You think Hope will rig in Imo state against the wishes of igbos! Bro slow down highest Tinubu will achieve 25% there
if tinubu can win bayelsa and pH who is PDP state at of 2023 . Imo state is a small thing for tinubu to win
Re: Benjamin Kalu Abandons Abia Governorship Ambition by GeneralOuki: 7:49am On May 12
Freshtruth:
He for try am na make otii give am wotowoto. From his statement of allowing oti to finish his 8yts . Oti has decided to work for tinubu 2 states on the bag for APC in south east
Imo And abia tinubu just need 25 percent vote in Anambra which suludo will deliver. Wike will still deliver pH and Abuja for tinub

4 of these 5 state I mentioned obi won there in 2023
Removing these 5 stares from obi millions
Obi can still balance 2 of those States with block votes from kano

Tinubu still favorite next year
There's not a single politician in South east that can influence votes in the presidential election against the general wishes of the people. Not even Ojukwu won South east When he contested under APGA, that zone went to Yar'Adua of PDP. Otti and Soludo will only do eye service for Tinubu at the podium and on newspapers but they can not influence votes for him.

No be Igbos vote ikpeazu?
They voted for him in his first tenure, second tenure he used State power as the incumbent to return himself, but the people waited for him in his senatorial ambition and voted against him massively.

He has disagreement with his Godfather OUK.

But I am only talking about sout east. Bro how do you understand deductive reasoning?
Re: Benjamin Kalu Abandons Abia Governorship Ambition by ViceGovernor: 9:19am On May 13
Oh I see, but you know trusting politicians is the same thing as turning your back to a viper.

The way I see it that governor has the power to stop Ben's re-election and he may use it regardless of what he has said previously.
They're all forkeen liars.
fergie001:
The agreement was to allow Ben continue in the House of Reps. He recently appointed Ben's wife as Chair, Governing Council of the State Teaching Hospital.

Otti isn't like that
He sacrificed his Party's candidiate for Abaribe in 2023.
