Pioneer Leader of Abia State Caucus of the All Progressives Congress APC, Chief Sam Nkire has said the party was on its way to winning over the State for the first time in twelve years, “if only it could unite to fight the 2027 elections as one army with one purpose”. 

The former National Chairman of the Progressive People’s Alliance PPA, which once ruled Abia State, unequivocally said that unless members of the APC in Abia State stood solidly behind the party’s candidate after the primaries, winning the governorship would again elude the party in 2027.

Chief Nkire, who made his views known in his Easter message to Nigerians, also said it was time for Christians to reflect: “the life of Jesus Christ in their politicking and not be Christians only on Sundays”.

The APC chieftain added that: “Abia would be missing a regrettable chance at plucking a low hanging fruit, this time, if it loses Abia governorship for the fourth time in 2027, due to anti-party activities which usually stem from disunity”.
