APC ‘ll sweep Abia, others, ex Minister, Ikoh tells Abaribe
Former Minister of State for Science and Technology,
Hon. Chief Henry Ikechukwu Ikoh, has rejected claims by Senator Enyinnaya
Abaribe that the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu will
lose the 2027 presidential election, insisting instead that the ruling party
will record sweeping victories in Abia State and beyond.
Ikoh,
who currently serves as Abia State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors,
described Senator Abaribe’s remarks as misleading and disconnected from
realities on the ground, particularly in Abia State. He questioned whether the
senator was speaking for Nigerians generally or expressing a personal political
opinion.
According to Ikoh, the impact of
President Tinubu’s administration has been felt positively in Abia State,
especially through increased federal allocations to the state and its local
governments.
He argued that the improved inflow of
funds has helped enhance the welfare of civil servants and pensioners, while
also supporting infrastructure development across key sectors such as roads,
healthcare and education.
