2027: Don’t disrupt opposition campaigns, Otti warns supporters

Abia State Governor Alex Otti warned Labour Party supporters not to disrupt rival parties’ campaigns ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. Speaking in Umuahia at the launch of the party’s state campaign, he said opposition groups could use public facilities, including stadiums, if they followed procedures and secured the required approvals. He said security agencies had been instructed to arrest anyone obstructing legitimate political activities, including Labour Party members. Otti also urged opponents to focus their campaigns on development priorities and consult state performance data rather than rely on personal attacks or issues he said had been addressed.
