2027: Three former governors inaugurate committee for APC’s victory in Abia

The three former governors of Abia, on Saturday, inaugurated a technical committee charged with the responsibility of securing a comprehensive win for APC in the 2027 general elections.
The committee, comprising former legislators and appointees from the administrations of Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji, and Okezie Ikpeazu, was inaugurated in Umuahia on Saturday.
Inaugurating the team on behalf of the ex-governors, Mr Kalu, the senator representing Abia North, disclosed that the committee was constituted in January and tasked with creating a blueprint for the party and the state.
He said that plans were being perfected for a strategic meeting between the committee and the former governors to finalise plans for the upcoming elections.
“It’s a technical committee to work on modalities on how we are going to set up larger committees that will work for the victory of our party.
“We are showing people our commitment for our party to win from the President to the House of Assembly,” Mr Kalu said.
The committee is chaired by ACB Agbazuere, the former chief of staff to Mr Ikpeazu.
The members include all those who served under the previous administrations from 1999 to 2023.
Meanwhile, Mr Kalu’s younger brother, Mascot Kalu, affirmed his readiness to contest the 2027 governorship poll under APC.
In a speech at the event, he urged the committee to show enough commitment to ensure the success of the party in 2027.
He promised to develop the human and material resources that abound in the state if given the opportunity to serve.
