The Etugo Divine Mandate (Maka Odinma Ndi Abia), the support group for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship candidate in Abia State, Chief Ndubuisi Etugo Ogah, has disowned a campaign poster circulating with the inscription, “Abia Rejoice.”
The group, in a statement, said neither Chief Etugo Ogah nor its campaign organisation authorised, produced or endorsed the poster, stressing that the individuals behind the material were unknown to it.
It also dissociated itself from the “Abia Rejoice” inscription, movement or any organisation associated with it, saying the campaign does not require the platform or endorsement of any such group to achieve its objective ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
“Etugo Divine Mandate and Chief Ndubuisi Ogah do not need Abia Rejoice or its promoters to achieve the divine mandate of God. We will work and hope in God alone for His own promise,” the group stated.
The campaign organisation further warned against the use of the “Abia Rejoice” inscription on posters bearing the image or name of Chief Etugo Ogah, particularly where such materials are intended to portray him as a placeholder candidate.
It urged those responsible for such publications to desist, warning that it would explore all lawful avenues to protect the integrity of its candidate and campaign.
According to the group, its primary objective remains the mobilisation of support for Chief Etugo Ogah and the advancement of his political agenda for Abia State.
It therefore called on supporters, political associates and members of the public to disregard any campaign materials not officially issued by the Etugo Divine Mandate or the NDC Abia State Governorship Campaign Council.
The group described Ogah’s candidacy as a “divine mandate” aimed at rescuing and repositioning the state, insisting that his emergence as governor would not depend on the name, popularity or platform of any individual or organisation.
It reaffirmed its commitment to working tirelessly towards Ogah’s victory in the 2027 Abia State governorship election.
