Abia State Governor-elect Alex Otti has claimed that he once won a gubernatorial election without the influence of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
Otti, who spoke on Thursday, March 23, when he appeared on Channels Television, insisted that he won the 2015 election that produced Okezie Ikpazu as governor under the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA.
Otti, who contested this time under the umbrella of the Labour Party, was declared winner of the Saturday March 18 poll on Wednesday, March 22.
He also revealed on Channels TV that he joined the Labour Party before Peter Obi.
