2027: ‘Victory will be ours’ – Gov Otti warns against internal crisis in Labour Party

Abia State Governor and national leader of the Labour Party, LP, Alex Otti, has called on all elected candidates of the party to work together, insisting that it is by doing so that the party will come out victorious in the 2027 general elections.

Otti, represented by the Deputy Governor, Engr. Ikechukwu Emetu, made the call during the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting in Abuja on Thursday.

He hailed members of the party for the maturity they displayed throughout the primaries, adding that it is a testament to the growing strength and stability of the LP.

According to Otti, Nigerians are looking to the Labor Party for credible leadership, progressive governance and practical solutions to challenges facing the nation.

He said, “As we move forward, I strongly urge every successful candidate to immediately reach out to fellow aspirants and their supporters.

“Elections within the party should never create permanent divisions. The contest is over. The assignment has just begun. We must bring everyone to the table and harness the strength, experience, and networks of all those who participated in the process.

“I also encourage our candidates to work in close synergy with their constituents, federal constituencies, and senatorial districts. No candidates can achieve optimal success in isolation. We must run coordinated campaigns, share resources, mobilize our supporters collectively, and speak with one voice on issues that matter to our people.

“The 2027 general elections will not be won by individuals; they will be won by a united party, a disciplined structure, and a shared commitment to the aspiration of Nigerians, we must therefore put aside personal interest and focus on the bigger objectives of expanding the Labor Party’s presence in every level of governance.

“Our opponents will seek to exploit divisions among us. We must not give them the opportunity. Instead, let us present a united front, deepen our grassroots engagement, and continue to earn the trust of Nigerian people through our conduct, our message, and our performance.

“As leaders of this great movement, we have a historic responsibility to build a stronger Labor Party and offer Nigerians a credible alternative founded on competence, integrity, and service. I am confident that if we remain united, focused, and committed on our shared vision, victory will be ours in 2027.”
