2027: Ugochinyere Joins APP, Calls Party Most Organized and Focused

In anticipation of the 2027 general elections, Ikenga Ugochinyere, a federal lawmaker from Imo State who represents the Ideato Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, made a new political step by formally joining the Action Peoples Party, or APP.

The action came after he voluntarily withdrew his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) membership card, claiming an ongoing internal dispute as the cause.

The party’s national president, Uchenna Kingsley Nnadi, welcomed him to the APP family and stated that Ugochinyere’s arrival as a present federal lawmaker and one of the most vocal members of the National Assembly is a huge asset to the party.

He implied that the Ideato representative joined the party because of his personal opinion that APP is moving toward offering Ndimo and Nigeria as a whole a political choice rather than out of frustration or desperation.

“Ugochinyere’s identification with the APP is not only a huge gain but also a constructive move that will strengthen the party and increase its reach throughout the Federation. He declared, “We firmly welcome him into our political family and promise to support him in all of his political endeavors.

Ugochinyere thanked the party leadership for accepting him after accepting the party membership card in front of many of his followers.

Having served as the party’s vice chairman in the past, he described APP’s acceptance of him as a return home.

The Federal Lawmaker claimed that he joined the APP because, in contrast to the PDP and other parties, it is the only political platform that has not yet been compromised by individuals he characterized as anti-democrats and party hijackers who, in his opinion, have pledged to obstruct a true democratic process.

He emphasized that the PDP’s problems began as soon as Atiku Abubakar defeated Nyesom Wike in a clear political struggle during the party’s 2023 presidential primary.

He implied that Wike’s stubbornness to concede defeat created an internal crisis that has resulted in the party’s ongoing self-destruction.

“Wike went crazy right after the presidential primary and started gathering his allies in order to destroy the party that had made him. Wike has benefited politically from the PDP since 1999, and instead of expressing appreciation, the only thing he could do was demolish the home that provided him with refuge, he claimed.

Ugochinyere continued, “Wike is at war with everyone, operating a dangerous political view, and constantly insisting on having his way against democratic principles, which, in his opinion, led to the destruction of PDP.”

Despite the fact that some party members testified against him throughout the numerous lawsuits to remove him, he insisted that he has no regrets about quitting the party because he did his best to keep it intact.

The Ideato representative urged his constituents and supporters to accept the new political family and get their membership cards since the new political period is here to stay, not only in the Constituency but throughout Imo State.

Ugochinyere claimed that because of recent developments in Venezuela, the international community will focus their attention on the country, making the 2027 general elections difficult for election manipulators.

“Your votes must definitely count, therefore get your Permanent Voters Card ready.Trump is monitoring and prepared to take action, so there will be no room for manipulation. He declared, “The people own sovereignty and it must be preserved at all costs.”

Chima Amadi, a candidate for governor, stated earlier in his speech that Ugochinyere made no mistakes when he joined the APP.

He insisted that Ugochinyere’s entry into the party would aid in driving the ruling APC out of the leadership corridor and establishing leadership based on justice, equity, and fairness.

Thousands of supporters and members of other political parties attended the event, which was held at Ideato North Model Primary School Akokwa, in support of the legislator.
