“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”.
Nigerian singer Charly Boy has shared his thoughts on the recent political move by the political party African Democratic Congress (ADC).
It can be noted that the party is gearing up to challenge President Tinubu’s position in the 2027 elections.
The singer took to social media to express his thoughts on the move and questioned who the party is truly fighting for.
“Are they fighting for you, or fighting to sit where their enemies used to sit? Are they shouting ‘enough is enough’ because they’ve changed… or because they’re no longer the ones benefitting?”
“We don’t just need new names. We need new values, new visions, and people with the guts to live by them. 2027 is not about revenge. It’s about rescue.”
Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, believes that despite his shortcomings, former President Muhammadu Buhari performed better than the current administration under President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi admitted Buhari didn’t achieve everything he set out to do, but insisted that things were still better under his leadership compared to now. “Buhari will be the first to tell you he didn’t accomplish all his plans, but by every standard, his government outperformed this one,” Amaechi said.
The former Rivers State governor pointed to areas like security and the independence of institutions, especially the electoral commission, as key areas where Buhari did better. “In terms of security, Buhari placed more focus there. When it comes to the independence of INEC, there was far more freedom under Buhari than we’re seeing now,” he added.
Amaechi also criticised the current state of politics, claiming that new political parties can’t even get registered because of interference from government officials. He made it clear that his comments are not personal, saying he would have been the first to commend President Tinubu if things were going well.
Former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi has maintained that Nigeria’s next president should come from the South. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Amaechi stressed that while power should shift to the South, competence and character must be the key factors in choosing leaders, not just regional sentiment.
He pointed out that the coming elections won’t just be about political parties but will be a fight between everyday Nigerians and the political class. In his words, “Nigeria belongs to everyone. We can’t keep running a system where one region holds all the power and others are sidelined. There are capable leaders in the South. It’s time to restore balance and deliver real results.”
Amaechi added that the elections should not be based on blind party loyalty, saying, “This is about Nigerians taking a stand against the political elite. If we truly want change, now is the time to act.” He believes the South is prepared to take the lead, promising a platform that gives every Nigerian a voice and renewed hope.
