2027 Elections: Three Ex-Governors Unite to Bring APC Victory in Abia In a recent development, three former governors of Abia State have come together to form a technical committee aimed at securing a comprehensive win for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. The committee, comprising former lawmakers and appointees from the administrations of Orji Kalu, Theodore Orji, and Okezie Ikpeazu, was inaugurated in Umuahia, the state capital. The team, which includes ACB Agbazuere, former chief of staff to Mr Ikpeazu, will work on modalities to set up larger committees focused on APC's success in the elections. According to Senator Orji Kalu, the committee was established in January, and its primary objective is to create a blueprint for the party and the state. Kalu, who represented the ex-governors at the inauguration, emphasized the importance of the committee in securing APC's victory from the presidency to the Abia State House of Assembly. In a separate development, Senator Kalu's younger brother, Mascot Kalu, has expressed his intention to contest the 2027 governorship poll under the APC. In a speech at the event, he assured the committee of his commitment to the party's success and promised to develop Abia's human and material resources if elected. The APC's efforts come amidst a challenging environment, as the Labour Party currently holds the reins of power in Abia. The party's victory in the 2023 governorship election, led by Governor Alex Otti, surprised many, including the then-ruling Peoples Democratic Party. The APC's determination to reclaim power in Abia is a testament to their commitment to the state's development. As Abia prepares for the 2027 elections, it remains to be seen whether the APC's efforts will yield the desired results. One thing is certain, however - the APC is not giving up on its ambition to govern the state, and the technical committee's work will be crucial in determining the party's success.
