He has also picked up the APGA nomination form for the 2015 governorship elections in Abia State.
Otti picked up the nomination and expression of interest forms at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said his decision to run for Abia State Governorship seat was due to his “determination to rescue Abia State from total collapse.”
The former Bank M.D said, “I have left the PDP and to me, coming to APGA is like home-coming. I like to use this opportunity to thank APGA leadership for warmly welcoming me to your office and welcoming me home.
“I have always said that APGA is not a political party but a religion for Nigerians, some of you will recall that when our national leader (Chukwuemeka Ojukwu) died, we did everything to make sure that he was given a befitting burial. I was the Chairman of the finance sub-committee.
“I am very happy to be back home, we have a mission to take back our state and put it back on the part of progress and industrialization. We have started that journey, we know that there are a whole lot we could do. When I look at Aba, I regret that I did not take this decision to serve my people. It is a great sacrifice for me to leave what I was doing until a few weeks ago. But it is not too late, we are here to win and we must win.”
Meanwhile, the party (APGA) has rescheduled its activities in order to conduct party primaries against the 2015 general elections.
The Party chairman, Chief Victor Umeh, while welcoming Otti to APGA assured all aspirants of level-playing ground and also said the party was determined to win more seats during the 2015 elections.
