We Will Take Over Abia In 2027 – APC Declares

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed confidence that it will take control of the leadership of Abia State in the 2027 elections, pledging to deliver more democracy dividends to the people of the state.

The announcement was made by the APC Chairman in Abia, Kingsley Ononogbu, during an event at Abiriba Stadium in Ohafia Local Government Area of the state on Friday. Ononogbu was speaking while welcoming former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member, Kelvin Jombo Onumah, who defected to the APC along with his supporters.

Ononogbu emphasized that the APC’s chances in 2027 would be bolstered by the achievements of key party members, including Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, and the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha. These leaders, he said, had made significant contributions that would help the party secure victory in the upcoming elections.

“We expect that if we take over Abia State in 2027, you will see more actions, verifiable actions,” Ononogbu stated, expressing optimism about the party’s unity and readiness for the 2027 elections. He added that the APC had learned from its past mistakes and was now more prepared to govern the state.

Kelvin Jombo, the former PDP member who joined APC, also spoke at the event. He explained that his decision to switch parties was motivated by a desire to bring development to his people in the Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency and Abia North as a whole. He expressed his commitment to adding value to the APC and contributing to the party’s success in the state.

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, also present at the event, called for patience with President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing economic reforms, assuring Nigerians that the current challenges, including hardship and hunger, would eventually be overcome. Kalu reiterated that the APC remained the largest political party in Nigeria and urged fair reporting of the party’s achievements.

In response to the APC’s plans, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia, Abraham Amah, issued a statement asserting that the PDP would bounce back in the state, despite the APC’s claims. Amah vowed that the PDP would surprise its critics and regain its political strength.

The political landscape in Abia remains dynamic as both major parties prepare for the 2027 elections, with the APC confident in its ability to wrestle power from the PDP.
