Abia PDP chairman dismisses ex-deputy governor’s support for Otti’s re-election

The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Abraham Amah has reacted to a former Abia deputy governor, Ude Oko Chukwu’s endorsement of Governor Alex Otti’s re-election, describing it as survivalist instinct dressed in borrowed robes of loyalty.
Amah, who said he was been inundated with calls about the whereabouts of the former deputy governor, alleged that Oko Chukwu is desperate to rebrand and position himself ahead of some politicians in the state.
Noting that the former deputy governor is constitutionally free to admire or align with anyone he pleases, Amah however said he should be grateful to PDP, which gave him the opportunity to spend twenty years in power.
“It is therefore curious—and regrettably laughable—that a man who occupied the corridors of power for twenty unbroken years under the PDP now seeks to rebrand himself by courting the Otti-led administration, with whispered ambitions of displacing the true labourers of that vineyard,” he noted.
The Abia PDP chairman said the party is steadfast and not threatened by departures. According to him, the party collating all intelligence related to acts of political acrobatics.
Amah further urged the members of the PDP in Abia to remain calm as according to him, “the taproot of loyalty and truth remains immovable”.
