The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in the 2027 general election in Abia State, Eric Opah, presented his running mate, Godswill Egbe, to the party in the state, noting that the party is running to win.
Opah made the presentation on Monday in Umuahia, the state capital.
“If you want to choose somebody to work with, you have to make sure that it is not somebody who will give you trouble. So, because running mate and deputy governor positions often come with disagreements with the principal, I took my time. I have to tell our party members, this is a man of integrity,” Opah said.
He added that Egbe is a man that Abians and the APC will be proud of.
“Let me make it very clear. We are running this election. APC is running this election to win.
“Agu Egbe will work with me in honesty to use Abia money to work for Abians. We are not going to claim 400 roads when we build 20. We are going to ensure that we create jobs for Abians,” he said.
Speaking, the state APC chairman, Chijioke Chukwu, assured that Egbe “is not just a man of integrity, but a chosen man of God’s will”
Responding, Egbe assured of his subordination to leadership and will work with the vision of his principal, saying, “I will align with the manifesto. I will give in, and I will really be a support to realise that vision.
“We are committed to winning. We are committed also to be the champion, to give our father, the leader of APC, (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) the resounding victory that he requires.
“We are the APC, and we are the people who will bring that vote. Let nobody go to claim the result of our good work. I will stand by Opah firmly, strongly, honestly, resolutely, and we are running to win,” he vowed.
