Even a blind man can see what is happening in Abia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor, continue to do well. Our ancestors in Abia are with you, and I want to believe that you are on constant touch with them for guidance. Every Abian is happy with you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came from Enugu two days ago and I saw the massive development by Governor Peter Mbah of the PDP. Even APC people are confessing that you and your colleague, Peter Mbah are pace setters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have never mentioned your party \u2013 the Labour Party. I have always said Gov Alex Otti is doing well. Nobody knows where he will swing in 2027. So, when these characters ( Wabara\u2019s critics) are doing this and that, let them know I\u2019m talking about Alex Otti. We are all wooing him. Governor, we are all wooing you\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This is coming at a time the former Senate President was engrossed in a crisis with PDP.<\/p>\n<p>The PDP Abia State Working Committee, SWC, had suspended Wabara BoT Chairman.<\/p>\n<p>But, the party\u2019s National Working Committee, NWC, had nullified Wabara\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n<p>PDP\u2019s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said the purported suspension violated the party\u2019s Constitution (as amended in 2017) and does not follow due process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
