Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has advised Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, to remain committed to the Labour Party (LP) despite the ongoing defections within its ranks.
Fayose offered this counsel on Sunday while speaking with journalists at Otti’s country home in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South Local Government Area.
He praised Otti’s performance in office and urged him to resist any pressure to switch parties, emphasizing that Otti’s contributions and identity within the Labour Party have become a significant institution in their own right.

“My governor, don’t decamp; you are an institution here. We are talking about the diversity of Nigeria, a multi-party system. They will say Labour Party — even if everybody leaves, people don’t leave. Remain there. You are the national chairman,” the ex-Ekiti governor said.
In April, Governor Otti dismissed reports suggesting he was planning to defect from the Labour Party (LP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), labeling the claims as “false, baseless, and unfounded.”
Amid discussions of a re-election bid in 2027, the governor recently stated that he would first consult with God before making his decision.
