This online media platform gathered that Abengowe collapsed the SDP structure in the state to support the Labour Party (LP) Governorship Candidate in Abia, Alex Otti.

The defectors were received today by LP executives at the party’s secretariat along Okigwe road in the Aba North Local Government Area of Abia State.

The former SDP chieftains pledged to work for the victory of Otti at the March 11 governorship poll.

Speaking at the event, Asonye said they have handed over the SDP structure and flag of existence to Otti because, in Otti, “They see capacity, brilliance and competence, adding that the LP governorship candidate is the right person they can partner with for the state’s transformation.”

Also, a former spokesperson for the SDP candidate said they have the conviction to collapse the structure for Otti and not because of any monetary induction or personal aggrandizement.
