Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has openly declared a political showdown with Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a political gathering, Kalu emphasized that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is determined to take over Abia State, stating that the current Labour Party government has failed to deliver on the people’s expectations.
The declaration has been described by analysts as a direct challenge to Governor Otti’s administration, sparking political tension across the state.
Supporters of the APC hailed Kalu’s statement as a rallying call for change, while Labour Party loyalists have dismissed it as an empty threat.
The unfolding development sets the stage for what could be a fierce political battle in 2027, as Abia State prepares to witness another power tussle between the Labour Party and the APC.
Observers say the months ahead will reveal how both parties mobilize grassroots support in what many are already calling a “showdown for Abia’s future.”
