UMUAHIA — The Coalition of Concerned and Patriotic Ngwa Citizens, CCPNC, has faulted the endorsement of Abia State Governor Alex Otti for a second term by the Ngwa National Association, USA, NNAUSA.

NNAUSA, an association of Ngwa indigenes resident in the United States, had adopted Otti as its preferred candidate for the 2027 governorship election in Abia State.

However, the CCPNC, in a statement by its Convener and Secretary, Mr Chukwuemeka Obinna and Engr. Joe Nkoro, respectively, disagreed with the endorsement, saying it did not reflect the views of all Ngwa people.

The group argued that Otti had not done enough to merit the support of the Ngwa people for a second term and urged residents at home and in the diaspora to critically assess the endorsement.
