We won the election without Obi – Alex Otti insists he won under APGA in 2015

Governor-elect of Abia State, Alex Otti has claimed that he once won a gubernatorial election without the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi under the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA in 2015.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television, he said, “In 2015 when I ran under APGA, there was no Peter Obi. And we have it on our record that I won that election. At the time we were joining the Labour Party, Peter Obi had not joined.

“It took about a week before he called me and said that he purchased the presidential nomination form and he was coming to the Labour Party,” he said.

Otti, however, acknowledged the former Anambra governor over his influence in the just concluded election, saying Obi “came to Abia about four times to campaign for us.

“Peter Obi is a great addition to our campaign, but I can tell you that we won an election before in Abia without him.”
