…Opah Describes Running Mate as Brother, Trusted Partner
CDA News Nigeria reports that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State has unveiled Dr. Godswill Agu Egbe as its deputy governorship candidate for the 2027 election.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that Dr. Egbe, 57, hails from Ameeke-Elu Ovim in Isuikwuato Local Government Area. He is a Project Management and Financial Sector Specialist with over 27 years of professional experience spanning development finance, pension administration, agribusiness development, institutional capacity building, and strategic business advisory services.
According to his citation, he has held senior leadership and technical advisory roles across consulting, financial services, and development-focused institutions in Nigeria and Ghana. He is the immediate past Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sane-Konsult International Limited, and previously served as Deputy General Manager and Project Manager with BUA International.
He has provided technical support to financial institutions, development programmes, and agribusiness initiatives under organisations including USAID/Connexus Corporation and the African Development Bank Group. He is also an accomplished researcher with publications in financial mathematics, pension systems, and financial inclusion.
Reacting, the APC governorship candidate, Chief Eric Opah, described Dr. Egbe as “more than my running mate; he is my brother and a trusted partner in our mission to deliver more to Abians.” He said the choice followed a painstaking and rigorous process involving consultations with stakeholders.
Opah added that Dr. Egbe is “humble, kind and respectful,” and shares his vision that “Abia truly deserves more.”
The Abia APC Chairman, Hon. Chijioke Chukwu, said Abia would be “truly fortunate” to have Dr. Egbe as Deputy Governor, describing him as a man of “unquestionable integrity, character, and conviction.”
