The following is the paraphrase of the text you provided:
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has revealed that his meeting with President Bola Tinubu focused entirely on Nnamdi Kanu, who is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Otti clarified that his discussion with President Tinubu was not about strategies to defeat the All Progressives Congress (APC) party.
The governor offered this explanation through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ferdinand Ekeoma, in response to an allegation made by Charles Ogbonnaya, a former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs in the state.
Mr. Ogbonnaya had alleged that Governor Otti met with President Tinubu to arrange his intended move to the APC before the 2027 elections.
The statement indicates: “The governor held a subsequent meeting with the President after his visit to the IPOB leader at the Sokoto Correctional Centre on Sunday, November 30, 2025.”
“This action is part of the ongoing discussions the governor has maintained with the Federal Government regarding this specific issue over the past two years.”
“The situation concerning Mr. Kanu was the sole topic that prompted Governor Otti’s travel to Aso Rock, and thankfully, the meeting proved to be both constructive and successful, as the President demonstrated great kindness and generosity,” the statement concluded.
Governor Otti recently visited Mr. Kanu at the Sokoto Custodial Centre following Mr. Kanu’s sentencing to life imprisonment by Justice James Omotosho of the Abuja Federal High Court.
