(VIDEO) Alex Otti Rejects Obi’s Stance On Hunger Protests
Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has rejected the position of the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in last year’s general elections, Peter Obi, regarding the nationwide hunger protest.
Nigerian youths are on a nationwide protest between against the rising cost of living and economic hardship.
Obi, while speaking earlier during a courtesy visit to Governor Otti at his country home in Nvosi, Isialangwa South Local Government Area, backed the planned protest.
The former Anambra governor said that it is the constitutional right of citizens to protest, adding that hunger and hopelessness are responsible for the agitation.
He, however, said protesters must carry out the act within the ambit of the law.
But Otti, who is the only governor in LP, tackled Obi saying the bad governance people are currently complaining about started during the previous administrations.
He emphasised that protesting without police approval is illegal.
The governor said: “It would be very unfair to say things are not difficult now. Things are very difficult, that is true, but how do you solve the problem? The problem we find ourselves in the country today is economic. We are actually paying the price for bad governance that didn’t start today.
