The All Progressives Congress (APC) flagbearer for Abia South Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections, Erondu Erondu, has appreciated party members and supporters following his decisive victory in the party’s just-concluded senatorial primaries.
Erondu secured 15,982 votes to defeat fellow aspirants Anyim Nyerere, Blessing Nwagba, and Paul Ikonne in the keenly contested APC primaries.
Speaking shortly after receiving his Certificate of Return at the APC Secretariat, Erondu described the exercise as transparent and peaceful. He stressed that the outcome reflected the unity and maturity within the party.
“There is no victor and no vanquished,” he declared.
According to him, the APC remains one united family driven by a common vision for the development of Abia South and the advancement of the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Erondu noted that his co-contestants — Nyerere, Nwagba, and Ikonne — remain his brothers and sister. He added that they are collectively committed to improving the lives of the people across the senatorial district.
Furthermore, the APC candidate stated that his years of experience in public service and government positions have equipped him with the knowledge and understanding required to effectively represent the people at the National Assembly.
