Otti Dismisses Suspension by Abure Faction as Desperate Stunt.

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has denounced his reported suspension by the Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party, calling it a “ridiculous charade.”

Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, Governor Otti described Abure as a “clown seeking relevance,” dismissing the announcement as an attempt to gain attention and tarnish his reputation.

Ekeoma urged the public to disregard what he labeled a baseless pronouncement by individuals who no longer hold legitimate authority in the party.

He referenced a Supreme Court ruling which, according to him, stripped Abure of the right to act as National Chairman and paved the way for the formation of the Senator Nenadi Usman-led National Caretaker Committee.

Ekeoma suggested that Abure’s announcement was a diversionary tactic to pre-empt accountability, as he had been recently summoned by the Caretaker Committee over allegations of misconduct.

He called on law enforcement to arrest Abure for impersonation and urged INEC to uphold the Supreme Court’s decision to maintain democratic integrity.
