“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”.
The Presidency has reacted to the ongoing dispute between former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and the state government over the state’s finances.
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, said Obi had claimed he left Anambra debt-free and promised to stop his presidential campaign if proven wrong.
Onanuga said the Anambra government had presented figures showing outstanding obligations to workers, pensioners and contractors under Obi’s administration.
Obi, however, denied the claims, saying his administration cleared over ₦35 billion in historical gratuities and arrears before leaving office.
“If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning,” Obi said.
Nigerian socialite Cubana Chief Priest has spoken about why he believes Igbos are supporting President Bola Tinubu’s bid for re-election in the 2027 presidential election.
He said the president’s son, Seyi Tinubu, has given Igbos greater access to the president.
He said “We Igbos now have access to Mr. President Tinubu through his son, Seyi Tinubu. That’s why we’re doing everything to make sure he’s re-elected.”
Cubana Chief Priest also spoke about the growing support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State, saying “Thousands of Imolites are trooping in for registration for APC. Ndi Imo don’t just love the City Boys Movement, they believe in it. Let’s do politics with lifestyle. On Asiwaju’s mandate, we shall stand. Imo is APC. Here, it’s zero competition.”
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
