One of the strong contenders to fly the governorship flag of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, yesterday announced his withdrawal from the primary election.

Otti, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in 2015 and 2019, said he would defect to another party to pursue his ambition. It would be recalled that Otti contested same position under the platform of All progressives Grand Alliance, APGA and it was widely believed he won the election but was rigged out by PDP which was the ruling party at the centre. With his parting ways with APC, it is not clear the new party he will join.
