The National Vice Chairman, South East, of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Augustine Ehiemere, has called on Abia State Governor Alex Otti to return to APGA, describing it as his “true political home” and the most stable platform for delivering sustainable governance.
Ehiemere made the appeal during the Abia South Senatorial District APGA stakeholders’ meeting held last week in Abia State.
He warned Governor Otti against aligning with other political parties, which he described as unstable or in disarray.
“APGA remains the healthiest and most stable political party in Nigeria today, we are calling on Governor Alex Otti to return to his political home, APGA, where he started.
“Labour Party is presently a breeding ground for crisis. ADC is almost in disarray, APC is not a safe ground for him, and PDP has already diminished. APGA is the only platform that offers stability and ideological consistency for him to continue his good works,” Ehiemere stated.

Ehiemere praised Governor Otti’s performance, particularly his efforts in security and welfare, and commended the collaboration between Otti and his Enugu State counterpart, Peter Mbah, as well as the establishment of the Abia State Security Trust Fund.
He also lauded the governor for prompt payment of salaries and pensions but urged him to address outstanding gratuities owed to retired workers.
Further, Ehiemere called on APGA members across Abia South and the entire state to remain committed to the party’s ideals.
Governor Alex Otti was APGA’s governorship candidate in Abia State during the 2015 and 2019 elections. The party hopes to see his return to strengthen its position in the region.
