Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah has reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the All Progressives Congress (APC), dismissing circulating rumours suggesting he may be considering leaving the party.
Sources close to the former Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development and 2019 APC gubernatorial candidate in Abia State have described the speculation as unfounded, noting that Dr. Ogah remains firmly committed to the ideals and progress of the party in the state and the South East region.
Over the years, Dr. Ogah has been widely acknowledged for his contributions to strengthening the APC’s structure in Abia State. Beyond public political engagements, he has consistently supported the growth of the party through strategic involvement, grassroots mobilization, and the provision of resources aimed at consolidating the party’s presence across the state.
Party stakeholders also point to his role in fostering unity and inclusiveness within the party, particularly through his support for members at the grassroots level and his commitment to building a stable and competitive political platform in Abia.
Dr. Ogah served as the APC gubernatorial candidate in Abia State during the 2019 general elections, where he led the party’s campaign on a platform of progressive governance and institutional development. His participation in the election further demonstrated his confidence in the party’s vision for the state.
Observers within the party say his leadership style, characterized by calmness, strategic engagement, and a strong commitment to party development, has continued to contribute to the strengthening of the APC’s organizational structure in Abia State.
As political discussions gradually begin to focus on the 2027 electoral cycle, many stakeholders believe that the growing confidence in the APC across Abia reflects the solid foundation laid by committed leaders within the party.
Responding to the speculation about a possible defection, associates of Dr. Ogah insist that such claims are baseless, emphasizing that leaders who have invested years building a political platform do not abandon it based on rumours or speculation.
They maintained that Dr. Ogah remains focused on supporting the growth of the APC and contributing to the advancement of progressive leadership in Abia State.
