Former Chief of Staff to the governor during the administration of Okezie Ikpeazu, Professor Anthony Agbazuere has declared his readiness to work for Governor Alex Otti’s re-election.
Agbazuere, until his resignation, was the Chairman of a strategic committee set up in March, 2026 by three former Governors of the State to design a blueprint for APC’s total victory and good governance in Abia State.
The strategic committee was inaugurated by Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu on behalf of other two former Governors, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu.
However, Professor Anthony Agbazuere during his visit to Governor Alex Otti on Wednesday at the Governor’s residence in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South LGA, switched camp to the Labour Party.
Agbazuere, who led his supporters to Governor Otti’s residence, said the Governor’s performance convinced him to dump the APC for LP.
Responding to the sudden development, Governor Otti promised the new LP members that they would not suffer any form of discrimination from old party members.
Otti, who said that his administration would intensify the development of the State, told Agbazuere and his supporters to formally register with LP.
