Hon. Chidi Igwe Ukah, the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate for Ohafia South State Constituency in the 2027 Abia State House of Assembly election, attended the homecoming rally of the party’s governorship candidate, Chief Etugo Ndubuisi Ogah, in Isuikwuato before joining other party candidates and supporters at the governorship campaign flag-off in Umuahia.
The homecoming, held on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at Amaba Community Field, Isuikwuato Local Government Area, attracted party leaders, candidates, supporters and residents who gathered to receive Etugo in his home constituency.
At the rally, Etugo presented his plans for Abia, with emphasis on industrial development, employment, education, healthcare, security and infrastructure. He pledged to attract investors, establish industries, support small businesses and create jobs, particularly for young people.
He also spoke about improving road infrastructure across the 17 local government areas and expanding access to education and healthcare.
Among those present were Rt. Hon. Uko Ndukwe Nkole, NDC candidate for Abia North Senatorial District; Evangeline Iwenjiora, candidate for Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal Constituency; and South-East Zonal Chairman, Sir Teddy Obe, who addressed party members and supporters.
The following day, Wednesday, November 11, Ukah attended the official flag-off of the NDC governorship campaign at the Etugo Divine Mandate Campaign Office, along Aba Road, near Eastern Comfort Hotel, Umuahia.
At the event, Etugo restated his commitment to industrialisation, investment, job creation and prudent management of public resources. He particularly identified Aba’s manufacturing potential as a major economic asset that his proposed administration intends to develop.
Party leaders and candidates also addressed supporters, while the event featured the presentation of certificates of return to candidates and calls for increased grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
The NDC is also seeking the election of Peter Obi as President in 2027, alongside its candidates for governorship, legislative and other elective positions.
Ukah’s presence at the two events saw him join the party’s activities in both Isuikwuato and Umuahia as the NDC begins its campaign for the 2027 elections.
He is seeking election to the Abia State House of Assembly to represent Ohafia South Constituency.
