Who is afraid of a free, fair & credible contest with Chief Eric Opah

The attention of the Chief Eric Opah Campaign Organisation has been drawn to a panic-driven publication by a faceless group, obviously acting as a front for individuals who are afraid of total defeat in the APC governorship primary election scheduled for tomorrow, 21st May, 2026.

The Campaign Organisation ordinarily would have ignored the fiction and propaganda being circulated by this faceless group working for those intimidated by the towering political stature of Chief Eric Opah, who remains the strongest aspirant in the race for the Abia APC governorship ticket. However, for the sake of the unsuspecting and gullible public, it has become necessary to lay the facts bare.

First, the APC National working committee cleared all the 3 governorship aspirants from Abia state. It is on record that membership card obtained via the e-registration portal was and has always been a basic qualification to aspire for any elective office in the party.

Similarly, during the pre-primary stakeholders’ meeting held at the new Abia APC Secretariat, the State Working Committee stated in its progress report that all the governorship aspirants and House of Representatives aspirants were successfully cleared, while only one aspirant for the State House of Assembly failed to scale through the screening process.

It is therefore ridiculous that fear of defeat could drive some individuals into manufacturing propaganda aimed at deceiving the teeming supporters of Chief Opah and discouraging them from trooping out in their numbers tomorrow to vote for their beloved aspirant, Chief Eric Opah.

Members of Abia APC are advised to ignore the falsehood as Chief Eric Opah is still very much in the race.

Signed
Chief Charles Ogbonna.

Eric Opah Campaign Organisation.
