The National leadership of the Labour Party (LP) has showered encomium on Abia State Governor, Alex Otti,  describing him as the pride of the party, for remaining steadfast, not just for clinching the governorship position during the 2023 election, but also for driving a purposeful and exemplary leadership.

The interim National Chairman of the party, Senator Nenadi Usman, in a statement issued on Wednesday, noted that Governor Otti has succeeded in redefining leadership in less than 3 years in the saddle.

In her birthday message to the Abia Governor, Usman maintained that he has shown unparalleled capacity as a transformer and a man whose leadership is hands-on.

The statement read, “Your Excellency, as you mark your birthday today, I pray that God continues to endow you with enormous wisdom to pilot the affairs of Abians, where you have, in less than three (3) years, redefined leadership; and in the Labour Party, where you continue to bear the torch for us.
