The rival contestant in the Presidential Primary Election, Mr Stanley Osifo, hardly scored more than two votes in any of the ten wards while President Tinubu garnered almost all votes in each of the ten wards.
In Asa-South Ward, the home of the Commissioner representing Abia State on the Board of Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, and Leader of APC in Ukwa-West Local Government Area, Chief Eruba Dimgba, Ph.D, the voting Members showed deep excitement to line behind Chief Dimgba who served as the Agent of Mr President, carrying and showcasing the President’s poster.
A similar thing happened in Asa-North Ward where the turnout of APC Members was exceptionally a mammoth crowd, cueing behind a former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Abia State, Sir Don Ubani, who also served as the President’s Agent.
By the time Stakeholders of the Party in Ukwa-West had finished voting in their respective wards and, being elated with the outcome of the Primary Election in their Wards and had gone to celebrate their success with their Leader at his Umuaka country-home, every nook and cranny of Ukwa-West was agog with their anticipated electoral successes in the general election of 2027.

In the same patriotic vein, Chief Eruba Dimgba asked the Stakeholders to consider one of the immediate-past frontrunners in recently-concluded APC House of Assembly Primary Election for Ukwa-West State Constituency, Chief Ikechi Nmenme, as Secretary of the Stakeholders. As in the case of Sir Don Ubani, the Stakeholders accepted the proposal without any objection.
