The Abia State Chapter of the Labour Party has received a major boost ahead of the 2027 General Elections following the formal pledge of support by the Chioma Abia Organization, a prominent pro-New Abia political group.

The organization paid a courtesy visit to the State Working Committee, SWC, of the party at the Labour Party State Secretariat, Umuahia, on Monday, July 20, 2026, to formally declare its alignment with the party and Governor Dr. Alex Chioma Otti.

A statement by the Labour Party publicity secretary Mr Iroegbu Emenike on Wednesday stated that the delegation was led by the National Chairman of the organization, Hon. Okeoma Nwaogbe, JP, alongside the State Chairman, Hon. Kingsley Nwachukwu, Abia South Zonal Chairman, Hon. Chikodiri Alozie, and coordinators from various Local Government Areas across the state.

Speaking during the visit, Hon. Nwaogbe reaffirmed the group’s loyalty to the Labour Party and the “New Abia” agenda of the governor.

“*We have remained active since 2015 and we have consistently supported Governor Alex Otti’s vision. We have built a dependable grassroots network capable of delivering any political assignment entrusted to us,” he said.

He added that the organization was “fully prepared to work with the Labour Party towards ensuring the overwhelming re-election of Governor Alex Otti and the victory of all Labour Party candidates in the 2027 General Elections.”

On his part, the State Chairman of Chioma Abia Organization, Hon. Kingsley Nwachukwu, described the Labour Party as “the umbrella platform under which all genuine support groups should operate.*”

He said the visit was aimed at strengthening collaboration and placing the group at the disposal of the party for mobilization, voter education and grassroots engagement.

The leaders also appealed to the party leadership to continue providing guidance to registered support groups to enable them function effectively.

Responding, the Chairman of Abia State Labour Party, Hon. Peter Azubuike, commended the organization for its consistency and loyalty.

“This organization is well known to the party leadership. Many of its members are individuals whose commitment to progressive politics and the Labour Party is not in doubt,” Azubuike said.

He urged the group to complete its registration under the party’s ongoing Support Group Registration Programme to enable official recognition and integration ahead of 2027.

“I advise you to remain united, avoid unnecessary internal disagreements and unhealthy rivalry. Unity, discipline and collaboration remain essential ingredients for sustainable growth and electoral success,” he added.

Hon. Azubuike reassured the organization of the party’s readiness to work with all genuine support groups committed to the success of Governor Otti’s administration and the consolidation of the New Abia vision.

The meeting had in attendance members of the SWC including the State Deputy Chairman, Apostle Ibe Nkeiruka Eucharia; Deputy Chairman, Abia Central, Rev. Andrew Ohiagba; State Organizing Secretary, Hon. Ikechukwu Ben Oti; State Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emenike Iroegbu; State Youth Leader, Hon. Uche Nwagbo; State Legal Adviser, Barr. Ndubuisi Nwosu; and State Treasurer, Hon. Ngozi Anyanwu.
