The Campaign Organisation of the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, Dr. Alex Otti, has petitioned the Inspector General of Police over alleged threat to his life.
In an open letter addressed to the IGP, the Organisation alleged that some elements ” consider Otti a serious threat that must be eliminated by all means.”
The document which was signed by the Director, Special Duties of the Organisation, Nwaka Inem, alleged that the same people have turned the governorship election in Abia State into a war without cause and life of our candidate is now under grave threat.
The letter read in part: ”Just recently a House of Representatives candidate alleged that he was shot various times by gun men attached to the convoy of Dr. Alex Otti.
“This wicked allegation sir, is designed to heat up the polity and consequently create a fertile ground for violent attacks on APGA and our candidate.
“We want to state categorically here that Dr. Alex Otti as a peace loving man , has never been linked in any way with violence, so , one wonders how on earth he will authorize the shooting of the lawmaker when they have nothing in contention at all level, be it politically or economically”.
”APGA is very worried that this is a scheme invented to soften the ground for a fresh attack on our candidate under the cover of a phantom reprisal. We have received intelligent information that the grand plan is to stage a pretty match and attack our candidate and burn his house.”
The Organisation, therefore, appealed to the IG to swiftly investigate the recent invasion of Otti’s house by men in military uniform , and the case of the alleged shooting of the legislator .
