Seventeen local government mayors recently removed by Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, have finalized plans to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC). According to a close source, one of the personal assistants to a disgruntled former mayor, the decision was reached during a meeting held last week in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.





The source, speaking anonymously, disclosed that the mayors have been holding a series of meetings since Governor Otti reneged on his promise to retain them. “They have vowed to repay Governor Otti with the same frustration he caused them,” the source stated. “The mayors feel betrayed and believe they were used and discarded by the governor.”





The former mayors are reportedly set to join forces with opposition stakeholders in the state to disrupt Governor Otti’s re-election campaign in 2027. “Some of these mayors left well-paying jobs and abandoned their families and businesses abroad to serve as mayors,” the source explained. 




“Otti deceived them, promising to retain them as elected local government chairmen, but failed to deliver. If he had truly intended to fulfill this promise, he would have amended the Abia electoral laws, just as he manipulated other processes to suit his interests.”





When contacted, most of the mayors declined to comment. However, one of them, who also requested anonymity, denied being involved in the defection plan but emphasized that democracy grants individuals the right to association. “I prefer to maintain my silence as I have since the news broke,” he stated before ending the call.





Though he refrained from providing further details, his tone indicated clear dissatisfaction with Governor Otti’s unfulfilled promises.
