Former Senator Chris Adighije, who represented Abia Central, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Umuahia South and across Abia State to vote out non‑performing party executives at the 2026 party congress. Speaking to APC stakeholders in the Umuahia South Local Government Area, he stressed the need for party members to correct past mistakes and specifically targeted officials who have been creating divisions and undermining the party’s interests, stating that they should not be re‑elected.
Adighije affirmed his commitment to securing a total victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections, citing the importance of learning from the party’s poor performance in 2023. He warned party members against sabotage and urged them to deliver strong results in their polling units for the 2027 vote. He also predicted that, should former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi contest the 2027 presidential election, he would again lose to President Tinubu.
Addressing rumors about his family, Adighije clarified that his daughter, Jennifer Adighije, the CEO of Niger Delta Power Holding Company, has no intention of leaving her position to run for the House of Representatives in 2027. He also raised concerns that some party members are planning to expel him from the APC for speaking out against internal issues, but he remains steadfast in his mission to reform the party and ensure its future success.
The 2026 party congress is expected to be a crucial turning point for the APC in Abia State, offering members the opportunity to shape the party’s leadership and direction. With Adighije’s call to action, party members will be watching closely to see how the congress unfolds and what changes it will bring to the party’s structure and strategy. As the APC prepares for the 2027 elections, political observers and analysts will closely monitor the outcome of the congress.
