The political temperature in Abia State is already beginning to rise ahead of the 2027 general election, as the Senator representing Abia North at the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu, has pledged to do all within his power to deliver Abia State to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He made the pledge at Ekoli in Edda Local Government Area of Ebonyi State during his annual New Year visit to the Chairman of the APC in Ebonyi State, Stanley Okoro-Emegha.
The former Abia State Governor said he would deploy everything within his arsenal to ensure that the APC wrests power from the ruling Labour Party in Abia State.
“I will support President Bola Tinubu and the APC gubernatorial candidate in the elections. I will put my heart on the field to ensure that the APC wins a landslide in Abia at the election.
“The incumbent Governor, Dr Alex Otti, is my friend, but I am not discussing politics—only the total victory of the APC in the elections.”
He urged state governors to secure their respective states and not leave such responsibilities to President Bola Tinubu.
