Abia South senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, elected under the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has backed Governor Alex Otti for a second term in Abia State.

Abaribe who stated this on Sunday during his New Year visit to the governor, said that Otti has performed well in Aba in the area of infrastructure.

“Even though my party is APGA and his party is Labour, we feel that we have gone beyond party, and we are now at the point of governance.

“So I came to encourage him; he’s done so well and we wanted to make sure that we continue to inspire him to do much more for the people of Abia.

“I think second tenure is still very far away but I do not see any stumbling block on the way if we go by what he has done at this point,” Abaribe declared.

Abaribe disclosed that his discussions with Otti centered on governance in the state, President Bola Tinubu’s tax reform bills, among others.

He commended Tinubu for promising to do the rail lines and other infrastructure within the South-East during his visit to Enugu State.

On the release of Nnamdi Kanu, Abaribe described Tinubu as a listening leader, expressing the hope that he will give heed to those advising and appealing for Kanu’s release.

“We are ready and willing to be guarantors for him to be released so that we can have life coming back into the South-East and take it away from the criminals,” the five-time senator said.
