Abia APC Reschedules Congresses for February 2026

The Abia chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the rescheduling of its ward and local government congresses to February 25 and 26, 2026, respectively. This decision follows the suspension of the congresses last week due to internal disagreements within the party.

A statement from the Abia APC caucus indicated that the earlier suspension was intended to resolve these internal frictions and restore unity among stakeholders. The postponement was made in good faith to ensure a rancor-free process and achieve harmony within the party.

Additionally, the state congress is now set for March 3, 2026. Party leaders expressed optimism that the upcoming congresses would consolidate unity and strengthen the party's structure across the wards and local government areas in Abia.

This development comes amid ongoing speculation regarding the intentions of Abia State Governor Mai, who is rumored to be considering a move to the APC ahead of the 2027 governorship elections, although his media aide has dismissed these rumors.
