Shaking Things Up in the Political Arena: Ayo Fayose's Advice for Abia's Alex Otti
"Fayose Maintains Presence in Labour Party Regardless of Others' Departure - Says Otti"
In a move to rally the troops, the ex-governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has stepped forward with words of wisdom for his fellow colleague, Alex Otti, the current governor of Abia State. Fayose's advice? Stick it out with the Labour Party, despite the ongoing exodus that seems to be sweeping through the party.
Fayose believes that Otti's presence in the Labour Party is non-negotiable, describing his contributions as an institution all on their own. He made these remarks while addressing the press at Otti's humble abode in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area.
"Listen up, my governor," Fayose said. "Don't jump ship; you're a damn institution here. We're talking about the diversity of Nigeria, a multi-party system. They'll call the Labour Party - even if everyone else bails, people don't bail. Stay put. You're the national chairman."
Talking about Otti's tenure, Fayose publicly commended the governor for his remarkable achievements in crucial areas like road infrastructure, healthcare delivery, and education. He claimed that the two-year run has been impressive and people-centric.
"The ordinary Abian can get such a good deal out of you - improving the quality of life and bringing them closer to civility," Fayose declared. "I've been more than impressed with what I've seen. I was able to check out some community maternity health care centers - some rehabbed, some built from scratch and fresh."
Fayose further praised Otti's work on Port Harcourt Road in Aba, hailing the transformation of the once-forgotten route into a bustling dual carriageway.
"Now we're back in Aba. I've seen more than eight roads in Aba. This is Port Harcourt Road, which I heard from the grape vine, has been a total screw-up for 37 years. Not motorable? Not anymore. You bet your ass, a dual carriageway like this is all a commercial city like Aba needs, and it's been set up," Fayose exclaimed.
All eyes are on Otti as he mulls over Fayose's advice in the midst of the ongoing waves of defections that seem to be ripping through the Labour Party.
