2027: APGA Refutes Merger with ADC in Abia

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abia State has dismissed reports alleging that its Abia South senatorial structures had collapsed into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

In a statement signed by its State Publicity Secretary, Chukwuemeka Nwokoro, the party described the claims as unfounded and deliberately misleading.

APGA reaffirmed its unity and readiness to contest the 2027 governorship election, noting that it continues to enjoy peace and stability across all 17 local government areas of the state.

The party clarified that Charles Nwanyanwu, who was linked to the alleged defection, is not a member of APGA. According to records from Ward 6 in Aba South, he resigned from the party in 2020 and has not been re-admitted since.

The statement further stressed that the party’s leadership in the state remains intact under Ambassador Sunday Onukwubiri as Chairman, with no internal crisis at either council or ward level.

Highlighting its political influence, APGA pointed to the election of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South) and Hon. Alex Ikwechegh (Aba North/South Federal Constituency) as evidence of its continued relevance in Abia politics.

It also maintained that the Abia South structure, under Chief Lucky Erondu, is strong and cohesive, with local government chairmen working together to strengthen the party’s presence.

Calling on the public to disregard the false reports, APGA assured that it remains focused on consolidating its structures and preparing for electoral victory in 2027.

“Without any fear of contradiction, APGA wishes to make it clear that the party in Abia State remains strong, united, and formidable, with its structures across the three senatorial zones fully functional,” the statement concluded.
