It was a historic and electric atmosphere at the Abia State APC Secretariat as party leaders and loyalists drawn from across all 17 local government areas of Abia State converged to witness the landmark governorship declaration of Chief Henry Ikechukwu Ikoh ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Responding to what he described as overwhelming grassroots calls from across the state, Chief Ikoh formally accepted the clarion call to contest the governorship of Abia State, assuring the mammoth crowd of APC faithful that he was fully prepared to take on the challenge.
After an impressive display of his sterling pedigree spanning both the public and private sectors, the assemblage of prominent Abia APC leaders unanimously adopted Chief Henry Ikechukwu Ikoh as their undisputed preferred candidate for the 2027 governorship ticket — a moment that drew thunderous applause across the secretariat.
Accepting the endorsement with deep gratitude, Chief Ikoh made bold and far-reaching promises to the people of Abia State, including:
✅ Gratuity Payment: Clear all outstanding gratuity arrears for retired workers within 40 days in office, putting an end to what he described as media propaganda on the issue.
✅ New Living Wage: Implement a new minimum wage of N120,000 for Abia State civil servants.
✅ Industrial Revival: Reactivate moribund industries across the state within nine months to create massive employment opportunities for Abia youths.
✅ Inclusive Governance: Deliver a New Abia devoid of segregation, built on inclusivity, dignity, and equal opportunity for all citizens.
“I will not take your support and endorsement for granted,” Chief Ikoh assured the roaring crowd. “A new Abia is coming.”
Political watchers describe his endorsement as a powerful signal that Abia APC is consolidating ahead of what promises to be a fiercely contested 2027 governorship race.
