“APC Will Take Over Abia in 2027 and Deliver More Actions” – APC Chairman
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed confidence in taking over the leadership of Abia State in the 2027 elections, pledging to deliver greater democratic benefits to the people of the state.
Speaking at Abiriba Stadium in Ohafia Local Government Area, Abia APC Chairman Kingsley Ononogbu welcomed former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart Kelvin Jombo Onumah and his supporters into the party.
Ononogbu credited the APC’s growing popularity in the state to the contributions of prominent party figures like Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, and Minister of State for Labour and Employment Nkeiruka Onyejeocha.
“We are now more united and prepared than ever. If we take over Abia State in 2027, you will witness more visible and impactful actions,” Ononogbu said.
Kelvin Jombo, now an APC member, said his move was motivated by a desire to attract meaningful development to his constituents in Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency and Abia North as a whole.
He pledged to contribute significantly to the APC’s growth in Abia State.
Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, speaking at the event, urged Nigerians to remain patient with President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing economic reforms.
Kalu assured citizens that the current challenges of hardship and hunger were temporary and that the government’s policies would eventually lead to economic recovery and stability.
Meanwhile, the Abia PDP Chairman, Abraham Amah, responded to the APC’s claims, asserting that his party remained strong and would make a significant comeback.
In a statement, Amah said, “We will bounce back to the amazement of naysayers and detractors”.

Bichi Threatens to Expose Damaging Evidence on Kano Governor and Kwankwaso
Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, the former Secretary to the Kano State government, has threatened to expose explosive details about Governor Abba Yusuf and his political mentor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Bichi claims to possess compromising documents, voice recordings, and videos that he plans to release “when the time is right.”
This statement came after Bichi’s dismissal in December 2024, along with five other commissioners, by Governor Yusuf.
Speaking to his supporters on Thursday, shortly after returning from Saudi Arabia, Bichi revealed his intentions to reveal the actions of those he once worked with.
“I’m at peace with the end of my tenure, but the time will come when we’ll expose the truth,” he said.
“People will see what kind of individuals they are.
They are untrustworthy, full of deception, and only know betrayal and treachery. These are not people you can trust.”

Sam Amadi Says Felix Morka Won’t Plot Against Peter Obi for Criticizing the Government
Sam Amadi, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, has dismissed the idea that Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is plotting harm against Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate.
In a post on X, Obi questioned whether he had “really crossed the line” after receiving threats directed at himself, his family, and his associates.
Obi’s comments came after Morka made a controversial statement during an interview on Arise TV, where he said, “Peter Obi has crossed the line so many times, and he has what’s coming to him.
Whatever he gets, he should manage it.”
Amadi, however, defended Morka, sharing his personal experience with the APC spokesperson.
On X, Amadi described Morka as a reasonable and intelligent individual, explaining that they were graduate course mates.
He expressed surprise at Morka’s recent statement, suggesting that something might have influenced his words, possibly the “APC curse,” but emphasized that Morka would not plot evil against Obi for simply offering good-natured criticism.
“That’s just not Felix,” Amadi stated.

Ojudu Claims Tinubu Outwitted Buhari to Win the APC Presidential Ticket
Babafemi Ojudu, former Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu outsmarted his predecessor, former President Muhammadu Buhari, during the 2022 All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary.
According to Ojudu, Buhari never showed support for his then Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, nor for Tinubu in the lead-up to the election.
Ojudu, speaking on Edmund Obilo’s podcast State Affairs, explained that he knew Osinbajo would not win the primary because of the political landscape they were operating in.
He stated that despite their efforts of campaigning and engaging with delegates, only 40 percent of the primary outcome depended on their actions.
The remaining 60 percent, he emphasized, was in Buhari’s hands.
Unfortunately, Buhari did not rally his team, including the governors and his aides, to support Osinbajo, which left them at a disadvantage.
Ojudu also described Buhari as a “one-man majority,” adding that the president failed to mobilize his supporters to back Osinbajo.
This, according to him, allowed Tinubu to outmaneuver Buhari and secure the APC’s presidential ticket.
Tinubu emerged victorious with 1,271 votes, while Amaechi secured 316, Osinbajo garnered 235, and Lawan trailed with just 152 votes.
