Ex-Senate President Ameh Ebute, Okpokwu LG endorse Governor Alia for second term

Former Senate President, Senator Ameh Ebute, alongside stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Okpokwu Local Government Area, has endorsed Governor Hyacinth Alia for a second term ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

The endorsement followed a stakeholders’ meeting where the Executive Chairman of Okpokwu Local Government Area, Hon. Adah Mathew Inalegwu, called on party members from Edumoga and Okpokwu to close ranks and unite behind any APC executive committee genuinely committed to strengthening the party and securing victory in 2027.

Addressing party leaders and members, Hon. Inalegwu stressed that unity and loyalty were critical to the party’s success, urging stakeholders to place collective interest above personal ambition.

“The success of the APC in 2027 will largely depend on our ability to work together as one family, put aside personal interests, and mobilise massive support for the administration of Governor Hyacinth Alia,” Inalegwu said.

In a show of solidarity, Senator Ameh Ebute moved a motion calling for the endorsement and continued support of Governor Alia for a second term in office. The motion received overwhelming support and was unanimously adopted by APC leaders and stakeholders from Edumoga and Okpokwu.

Party members described the endorsement as a strong vote of confidence in the governor’s leadership and performance, reaffirming their commitment to consolidating the gains of his administration and ensuring continuity beyond 2027.

The statement announcing the endorsement was signed by Itodo Itodo, Personal Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Chairman of Okpokwu Local Government Area.
