Abia State All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate Eric Opah has ruled out any alliance with other political parties ahead of the 2027 election, declaring that he is determined to unseat incumbent Governor Alex Otti.
In a statement released by the APC, Opah made clear that his campaign will run independently and that he will not seek support from rival parties as the election approaches.
Governor Alex Otti, who has held the governorship since 2019, is the incumbent that Opah aims to replace. The APC candidate has said that his focus is on defeating Otti rather than forming coalitions.
The 2027 Abia State governorship election is scheduled to be held in the southeastern part of Nigeria, where the APC is one of the main political parties. Opah’s stance comes as the party prepares for the upcoming electoral contest.
With no alliances announced, Opah’s campaign will rely solely on the APC’s support base as it seeks to challenge the current administration in Abia State.
