2027: Abia LP Intensifies Stakeholder Mobilisation, Targets Landslide Victory

PRESS RELEASE | 14 September 2026

In continuation of its ongoing strategic engagement drive aimed at grassroots mobilisation and stakeholder alignment, the State Working Committee (SWC) of the Labour Party, Abia State Chapter, has paid high-level consultative visits to key party leaders, government appointees, and critical political stakeholders across the state.

This tour, which has been active for over three weeks, underscores the party’s firm commitment to ensuring that no stakeholder is left behind and that all hands are on deck as preparations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.

During the visits, the SWC emphasised that the 2027 elections represent a critical “consolidation election” for the Labour Party and the people of Abia State. The party leadership made it clear that there is no room for complacency of any kind, stressing that the transformative “New Abia” ideology championed by His Excellency, Governor Alex Otti, OFR, must be sustained to preserve the massive progress currently being enjoyed across the state. The primary objective remains delivering a total landslide victory for all Labour Party candidates across all elective positions in 2027.

Receiving the delegation, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Security, Navy Commander Macdonald Ubah (Retd.), commended the SWC for what he described as a “great, well-thought-out, and timely wake-up call.” Assuring the party of his total readiness for the 2027 polls, Commander Ubah noted that Governor Alex Otti has elevated governance and leadership standards in Abia State beyond measure. He urged all party stakeholders to rise to the occasion and collaborate closely with the SWC to secure a resounding victory.

In his remarks, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Investment Promotion/PPP, Chief Jerome Nbaonu Green-Amakwe, applauded the calibre and dedication of the current SWC leadership. Expressing deep confidence in the party’s direction, Chief Green-Amakwe commended the strategic mobilization efforts and assured the delegation that the Labour Party remains on a clear path to victory in 2027.

Speaking during the visit, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Hon. Ferdinand Ekeoma, praised the SWC for its proactive leadership and forward-thinking vision. Reaffirming his unwavering commitment to the party’s overarching goals, Hon. Ekeoma assured the delegation of his full dedication toward executing a seamless media and mmobilisationdrive that will guarantee a sweeping victory for the party at all levels.

In Isiala Ngwa North LGA, the delegation was hosted at his Nsulu country home by prominent Labour Party leader and political stakeholder, Hon. Chinsom Michael Abengowe, alongside key community and local party leaders.

Reflecting on the party’s journey, Hon. Abengowe recalled that his ward in Nsulu was the only ward won by Governor Alex Otti in 2023 in Isiala Ngwa North when there was minimal party structure on the ground. He noted that today, even the blind can see the remarkable performance and tangible achievements of the Governor.

Hon. Abengowe assured the SWC that the Labour Party’s victory in 2027 will be a landslide, not just in his immediate ward, but across all of Nsulu and the entire Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area. Expressing his deep-seated gratitude for the Governor’s performance, he shared that Governor Otti’s infrastructural and economic transformation of Abia State has given Abians at home and in the diaspora renewed pride, enabling him to hold his head high among business partners nationwide.

The State Working Committee reiterates that the Labour Party remains united, focused, and steadfast in its mission to deliver good governance and sustained development to the people of Abia State.

Abia is Labour Party, and Labour Party is Abia!
