2027: Speak for Yourself, Abia PDP Disowns Erondu

The Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has distanced itself from remarks made by Elder Uchenna Erondu Uchenna Jnr, insisting he no longer has the authority to speak on behalf of the party.

In an official statement issued on April 11, 2026, and signed by the State Chairman, Abraham Amah, the party described Erondu’s comments as “misleading and unacceptable.”

Erondu, who currently represents Obingwa West Constituency in the Abia State House of Assembly, was elected on the platform of the PDP but has since defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He had reportedly claimed that the PDP was endorsing an APC gubernatorial candidate ahead of the 2027 elections.
Reacting, the PDP said such a claim was entirely false and lacked any form of authorization from the party.

“For the avoidance of doubt, he cannot and does not speak for Abia PDP,” the statement read. “Having chosen to leave the party, he has forfeited any authority, whether moral or political, to represent or interpret the position of the PDP.”

The party further stressed that it has not taken any decision to support a candidate outside its platform, describing the alleged endorsement as “profoundly careless” and contrary to its identity as a structured political organization.

The PDP urged the public to disregard Erondu’s statement, maintaining that it remains united and committed to its principles as political activities gradually build toward the 2027 general elections.
