In a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Uche Aguoru, on behalf of the state leadership and members, the APC expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support during the Abia APC Congress, which ushered in what the party described as a “formidable leadership” in the state.
The party also commended the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, for his role in ensuring a peaceful and successful conduct of the congress.
According to the statement, the party acknowledged the contributions and sacrifices of its leaders and stakeholders across the 17 Local Government Areas of Abia State, noting that their efforts have strengthened unity and cohesion within the party.
Reaffirming its position, the Abia APC declared that Benjamin Kalu remains the duly recognized and undisputed leader of the party in the state, warning that any individual or group claiming otherwise does so at their own risk.
