The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Umuahia North on Wednesday successfully conducted its ward congresses across the 12 wards of the local government area, in a peaceful and well-coordinated exercise.
The congresses were monitored by Rt. Hon. Emmanuel Guan, Chairman of the Abia State Congress Committee, who led a delegation from the party’s National Working Committee (NWC). Officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were also present across the wards to observe the process.
Addressing party members after monitoring the exercise, Rt. Hon. Guan expressed satisfaction with the peaceful conduct and organization of the congresses. According to him, the level of participation and enthusiasm displayed by members was a strong indication of the party’s growing strength in the state.
“With what I have seen on ground, I have no doubt that Abia State is APC. With the determination of the members I have seen here today, APC in Abia State will record a massive victory for President Tinubu in 2027,” he stated.
Also speaking, Rt. Hon. Stanley Ohajuruka commended party faithful for the impressive turnout across the wards. He thanked the leader of the party in the state Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu and all the stakeholders in Umuahia North for their commitment and efforts in ensuring a smooth and credible congress.
He congratulated those who emerged successful in their respective wards and reminded them of the responsibility placed upon them as grassroots leaders. According to him, ward executives are critical to the party’s success and must work diligently to secure victory for President Tinubu and all the APC candidates at the ward level in 2027 elections.
The ward congress marks a significant step in the party’s internal democratic process ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Meanwhile, the congress process is scheduled to continue on Thursday, February 26, 2026, with the Local Government Congresses holding across Abia State.
