The Peoples Democratic Party in Abia State has formally commenced its campaign for the 2027 governorship election, with its campaign council chairman, Amb Empire Kanu, declaring that the Labour Party-led administration is only a temporary occupant of the Government House.
Kanu made the declaration on Tuesday during the inauguration of the management team of the PDP Governorship Campaign Council in Umuahia.
The former Nigerian Ambassador to Argentina, who chairs the council, said the PDP remained the dominant political force in the state and was determined to reclaim power in 2027.
“PDP is not a new party. PDP is Abia, Abia State is PDP. Labour is just holding that position temporarily,” he said.
Kanu said the party had learnt from its defeat in the 2023 governorship election and would not repeat the mistakes that led to its loss.
