Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu has made case for the return of Abia state governor, Alex Otti back to the All Progressives Congress (APC), while praying for a continuation of the crisis in the Labour Party.
The Deputy Speaker who spoke when he visited the governor at his home country, Umuehim, Nvosi in Isiala Ngwa South Local Government of Abia State recalled that Otti was once a member of the APC, saying there was still a room for him in the party.
Otti was one of the governorship aspirants of the APC in the runoff to the APC primaries in 2022 before joining the Labour Party as the party candidate for the 2023 governorship elections.
Kalu, who praised the governor for the return of investors and businesses to Aba and other cities of Abia State, assured the governor of his continued support in the development of the state.
He said “You are not in my party again though I am regretting it. But I want you to know that the people who are also my people are also from different political parties. They are people who love what we are doing.
“The majority of us here are members of your former party. And we miss you. You only miss a good man, not a bad person. So, Labour Party members should be careful. If you don’t make this man happy, he is going back to his parents’ party.”
