Otti prodigal son, will come back to APC – Festus Keyamo

The minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Festus Keyamo, has described Abia State governor Alex Otti as a prodigal son, pointing out that he will return to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

DAILY POST recalls that the Abia governor left the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA, for APC in 2020.

Shortly after, he moved to Labour Party on which platform he coasted to victory in the 2023 general elections.

Keyamo, during his speech at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Abia International Airport, said that the governor had ‘strayed’ away from them.

“Today is not the day for politics, he strayed away, he was with us, he strayed away like the prodigal son.”

He also revealed that President Bola Tinubu’s decision to locate the airport in Nsulu stems from his love for Otti.

“The President’s motivation was also the fact that he loves the governor of this state, he loves his spirit. I know the comments he has made about the governor of this state and how much people here loves him so much.”

The groundbreaking ceremony for the airport comes after natives of Nsulu in Isiala Ngwa North Area of Abia State staged a protest on December 1 over the use of communal land by the government for the proposed project.
