Thursday, January 22, 2026 - Leaders from the four clans in Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia State have declared that any attempt to steal their votes in favour of losing candidates in the 2027 elections will not be accepted.
The stakeholders from Oboro, Oloko, Ibere and Ariam, as well
as local government workers, made the declaration at the Ikwuano LGA
headquarters during a strategic meeting.
Led by the Chairman of Ikwuano LGA, Anthony Nwubani, the
clan leaders said their votes must count in 2027 and must not be manipulated or
diverted.
They also denounced a statement attributed to a group of
former Abia leaders claiming that Governor Alex Otti would be a one-term
governor, stressing that only the will of the people would prevail.
The stakeholders, who passed a vote of confidence in
Governor Alex Otti over infrastructural projects in their area, said it was
wrong for members of the opposition to describe the governor as merely
repainting existing projects.
“Opposition is an ingredient of the political system, but it
must be based on facts, not lies. It is incorrect to say that Governor Otti is
only painting roads.
“Ikwuano people are angry with anyone peddling such a
narrative. It is a slap in the face of Abians whose lives have been positively
impacted by the governor,” Nwubani said.
