Abia PDP Denies Any Alliance Plans for 2027 Elections
The Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed rumors that it is considering an alliance with any other political party ahead of the 2027 elections.
State chairman Abraham Amah made the clarification on Thursday at the party secretariat in Umuahia, responding to inquiries about a possible political partnership.
Amah described the PDP in Abia as strong, united and ready for the 2027 electoral contest, insisting that anyone issuing statements in support of an alliance was not speaking for the party.
He said the party had already uploaded the names of its candidates for various elective positions and is prepared to contest the elections without seeking support from any other political party.
Amah added that the PDP would not donate its platform to any political party or group, emphasizing that, as of today, there is no agreement with any other party.
He also dismissed claims of factionalisation within the Abia PDP, noting that the candidates had been uploaded to the Independent National Electoral Commission’s official portal.
According to Amah, the state leadership has begun reconciling aggrieved aspirants who took part in the party’s primary elections to maintain unity and focus ahead of the polls.
Earlier, the PDP governorship candidate in Abia State, Kelechi Anosike, said he would pay civil servants a minimum wage of ₦90,000 if elected governor.
Anosike criticised the current state government’s salary payment system, alleging that the administration was not paying the ₦70,000 minimum wage across the board.
He said his administration would prioritise workers’ welfare and ensure a fairer salary structure for civil servants in the state.
