UMUAHIA, NIGERIA — The Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has distanced itself from remarks credited to Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, in which he allegedly declared at a Labour Party-organized event in Isuikwuato that despite being a member of the APC, he would support the Labour Party to win the Abia governorship election in 2027 .
In a statement issued by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Uche Aguoru, the Abia APC described the remarks as reckless, irresponsible, and unacceptable, emphasizing that they do not reflect the position, ideals, or aspirations of the party .
“For some time, the party had reasons to believe that Dr. Ogah was operating as a mole within our ranks. This informed the decision taken a few days ago to suspend him from all party communication platforms, including official WhatsApp groups and chatrooms,” the statement read .
The party reaffirmed its unity and focus under the leadership of Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, stating that it is firmly committed to winning elections across the board—from the Presidential and National Assembly to the Governorship and State Assembly—come 2027 .
“As such, we cannot and will not harbor individuals whose actions undermine the party’s collective goals,” Aguoru added .
The Abia APC strongly condemned what it termed the “irresponsible and unfortunate anti-party posture” for which Dr. Ogah appears to have become notorious . Consequently, the party announced it would immediately activate its disciplinary mechanisms to thoroughly investigate the matter and recommend the most appropriate sanctions .
The party urged all faithful members and the good people of Abia State to disregard what it described as an act of political sabotage . “The APC, as presently constituted, will not tolerate moles, saboteurs, or individuals whose only path to political relevance is through acts that weaken the party from within,” the statement warned .
The party concluded by reiterating its determination to take over the seat of power, restore sanity in governance, and return the Abia State Government House from Nvosi to Umuahia, the state capital .
