2027: I’ll cut cost of governance, industrialise Abia, says NDC candidate Ogah

Chief Etugo Ndubuisi Ogah, the governorship candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Abia State, has vowed to significantly reduce the cost of governance and drive industrialization if he wins the 2027 election. Ogah made these commitments in Abuja after submitting his nomination form at the party's national secretariat.

“

I have the opportunity now to thank Almighty God for giving me the opportunity to contest for the governorship position under the platform of the NDC in Abia State. I know that with God all things are possible and we can move mountains.

Ogah stated that his administration would prioritize industrialization, infrastructure, education, and security as foundational pillars for the state's development. He believes that fostering industrial growth is crucial for effectively tackling unemployment among the youth in Abia.

“

If, by May 29, 2027, I emerge as governor after the general election, I will do everything possible to change Abia. My priorities will be industrialisation, infrastructure, education and security.

"If, by May 29, 2027, I emerge as governor after the general election, I will do everything possible to change Abia," Ogah declared. He plans to improve the state's internally generated revenue and explore other legitimate financing avenues to fund his proposed projects. He also stressed the importance of prudent management of public funds and enhanced accountability to combat corruption.

“

We have what we call internally generated revenue in Abia State. We need to work towards improving that first. We also have other areas through which we can harness funds to finance our projects.

Addressing the current high cost of governance in Abia, Ogah promised to reduce it to the barest minimum while ensuring citizens benefit from good governance. He expressed confidence in the NDC's potential, emphasizing grassroots mobilization and the selection of credible candidates to strengthen the party's electoral prospects across all levels of government.

“

That is why I said my first focus will be industrialisation. When industries are established across all parts of Abia, our youths will naturally become employed.
