Governor Alex Otti has stirred further controversy over speculation that he might leave the Labour Party (LP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC), following remarks made by the Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives. In a recent statement, Kalu declared that Abia State's next governor must come from the APC, irrespective of the fact that Governor Otti, who he said was his close associate, was elected under the Labour Party.
During a media chat last night, Governor Otti was asked to respond to Kalu's comments, which have ignited a flurry of political conversations across the state. Rather than offer a direct denial or confirmation, Otti opted for a measured response, stating that only God knows what the future holds.
"I choose not to respond directly to Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu’s statement because I’m not in a position to answer that. Only God knows what will happen tomorrow, and only He can reveal the future. Power belongs to God, so I’m not concerned," Otti said, maintaining an air of ambiguity.

This response has done little to quell the rumors of a potential shift in Otti’s political allegiance, instead adding to the speculation. With no definitive rejection of Kalu’s claims, many are left wondering if the governor’s political trajectory is poised for a significant change.
Otti’s careful choice of words has left both political observers and the public intrigued, as the possibility of his defection to the APC continues to loom. The conversation has sparked mixed reactions across Abia, with supporters of both the Labour Party and the APC closely watching for any new developments that may signal a shift in the state’s political landscape.
