Dr. Eric Opah, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Abia State for the 2027 general election, has called on party supporters across the state to unite as the party begins its campaign. He made the appeal on Monday during a gathering of APC supporters from across the state at his country home. Opah emphasized the importance of unity, stating that his ambition is aimed at improving the lives of Abia residents.
Opah highlighted the economic difficulties faced by many residents, stressing that they are seeking relief and better leadership. He accused political opponents of spreading false information about him and his team, describing these allegations as unsubstantiated. The candidate urged the people of Abia to disregard claims by politicians from other parties that they had secured secret agreements or special assurances from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to Opah, President Tinubu remains supportive of APC members, and his team is well-prepared for the 2027 election. He stated that their work to win the election has officially started. Opah also pledged that he and his running mate would work for all residents of the state, irrespective of political affiliation. Their administration would prioritize unity, inclusive governance, and development.
The APC candidate emphasized that the success of an individual should translate into progress for the wider community. He urged supporters to remain focused, work harder, and maintain unity as the party prepares for the 2027 governorship election. Opah's campaign is expected to focus on addressing the economic challenges faced by Abia residents and promoting unity and inclusive governance.
The gathering at Opah's country home was attended by a large number of APC supporters from across the state. The event provided an opportunity for Opah to interact with his supporters and reaffirm his commitment to their welfare. Opah's message of unity and inclusive governance resonated with the attendees, who expressed their enthusiasm for his candidacy.
As the APC begins its campaign for the 2027 election, Opah's call for unity among party supporters is seen as a crucial step towards achieving victory. The party is expected to face stiff competition from other political parties, but Opah's message of hope and inclusivity is expected to resonate with Abia residents. The APC candidate has vowed to work tirelessly to ensure that his administration prioritizes the welfare of all residents.
The 2027 election is expected to be a significant milestone in Abia State's political landscape.
