APC in Abia Confident of Winning 2027 Elections Against Otti
The Abia chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has publicly dismissed claims regarding its lack of capacity in the state, as stated by the party's publicity secretary, Uche Aguoru, in a statement issued on September 18, 2026. Aguoru emphasized the APC's readiness for the 2027 elections, asserting that the party has been quietly working to ensure the defeat of incumbent Governor Alex Otti, who was elected under the Labour Party (LP) in 2023.
He claimed that the APC is the only party in Abia state actively engaging in grassroots campaigning across all wards and is preparing to commence tours. The APC also addressed allegations against Chief Charles Ogbonnaya regarding the Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene Road reconstruction, clarifying that Ogbonnaya supports the project but seeks to ensure that President Bola Tinubu and the APC-led government receive appropriate credit.
The APC aims to wrest power from Otti, who is seeking re-election in 2027.
