“Alex Otti Strayed, But He’ll Come Back to APC”- Keyamo Says at Abia Airport Ceremony
The Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, recently stirred political conversation when he described Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, as a “prodigal son” during the ceremony for the Abia International Airport.
Keyamo hinted that Otti, who has switched political allegiances over the years, might eventually return to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Alex Otti’s political journey has seen several shifts. Originally a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), he joined the APC in 2020.
However, in the build-up to the 2023 general elections, Otti moved to the Labour Party (LP), a decision that ultimately led to his successful gubernatorial campaign and his victory as Governor of Abia State.
His victory signaled a significant political shift in the state, traditionally dominated by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
During his speech, Keyamo chose to focus on Otti’s political journey in a light-hearted manner, likening him to the biblical prodigal son.
“Today is not a day for politics,” Keyamo remarked.
“But yes, he strayed away. He was with us, and he strayed away like the prodigal son.”
The ceremony was a significant moment for Abia State, with the proposed Abia International Airport set to be located in Nsulu, in the Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area.
Keyamo revealed that President Bola Tinubu’s decision to approve the location of the airport was influenced by his admiration for Governor Otti’s leadership and the support he commands among the people of Abia State.
“The President’s motivation was also the fact that he loves the governor of this state,” Keyamo stated.
“He loves his spirit. I know the comments he has made about the governor and how much people here love him.”
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
