Wike claims Abia Gov Otti backing Tinubu for 2027; Abia govt non-committal

Nigerian minister Nyesom Wike asserts Abia State Governor Alex Otti will support President Tinubu's 2027 re-election, but the Abia government's response neither confirms nor denies, signaling ongoing political realignment. The claim is unverified and part of pre-election maneuvering, with implications for opposition unity in Nigeria's southeast.
