The Abia state governorship candidate of Labour Party (LP) Dr. Alex Otti, will on Thursday, November 10, receive the party’s flag to jump-start its campaigns for the 2023 general elections in the state.
Besides the governorship candidate, all the party’s candidates for the various elective positions would also be given their respective flags in a memorable event scheduled to hold by 10 a.m. at Ngwa High School, Aba, the commercial hub of the state.
However, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state has remonstrated against the choice of venue for the event, arguing that it would disrupt academic activities in the school founded on September 24, 1954.
A statement jointly signed by Hon. Ceekay Igara, and Njoku Jerry Ajike, state chairman, and state publicity secretary respectively, and made available to SummitNews read:
“… Notice is hereby issued to the general public and all concerned, most importantly all members of the Obidient Movement, Abia State Chapter, Pro-Groups, Trade and Labour Unions, Professional Groups, Students, Friends and Well Wishers of Abia State
