Abia State’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) reaffirms that Eric Opah remains its governorship candidate for the 2027 election, according to multiple reports. The party says it is responding to claims circulating among supporters related to Opah’s candidacy. APC officials dismiss assertions attributed to Henry Ikoh’s supporters, stating that the party’s position does not change and that Opah continues to be the chosen candidate. The reports also indicate the party is calling for unity among members and urging stakeholders to align with the party’s decision as the election approaches. While details of the competing claims are not fully outlined in the summaries provided, both outlets describe the controversy as internal and centered on who should carry the party’s ticket for the governorship race. Overall, the APC’s public stance is that Opah’s candidacy stands for 2027 and that dissenting narratives within the party are not accepted by its Abia leadership.
