The Julius Abure-led National Executive Council (NEC) of the Labour Party (LP) has accused Abia State Governor Alex Otti of engaging in activities aimed at weakening the party ahead of an alleged plan to defect before the 2027 elections.
In a statement released after its NEC meeting held on Monday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, the leadership alleged that Otti is plotting to “collapse” the party in Abia State as part of a broader political strategy to switch affiliations in preparation for the next governorship race.
