Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has disclosed that his visit to President Bola Tinubu was based on Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Otti explained that his visit to Tinubu was not centred on plans to defeat the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The governor, who gave the explanation through his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, was reacting to a claim by a
former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in the state,
Charles Ogbonnaya.
Ogbonnaya had claimed that Otti met with Tinubu to discuss
his planned defection to the APC ahead of 2027.
“The governor subsequently had a meeting with the President
after visiting the IPOB leader at the Sokoto Correctional Centre on Sunday,
November 30, 2025.
“This is in continuation of earlier meetings the governor
had been having with the FG on this matter in the past two years.
“The issue of Kanu was the only subject matter that took
Governor Otti to Aso Rock and to the glory of God, the meeting was both
positive and fruitful, as the President was so gracious and generous,” he said.
Otti had recently visited Kanu in Sokoto Custodial Centre
after he was sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice James Omotosho of Abuja
Federal High Court.
