No Abia APC Candidate to Emerge Through Imposition, Says Chairman Chukwu

In response, Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, the aspirant for the constituency, pledged to change this narrative. As the Abia State Director of the City Boy Movement, he promised to bring fresh energy, transparency, and accountability to the constituency if given the opportunity. His campaign, he said, would focus on youth empowerment, job creation, and improved infrastructure. He also highlighted his commitment to working closely with party members and the wider electorate to rebuild trust and deliver tangible results.

The APC’s new stance in Abia signals a broader effort to reposition the party for the 2027 elections by prioritizing internal democracy and grassroots participation. This move is expected to boost member engagement and attract more credible candidates across the state. As the party prepares for the upcoming electoral cycle, the emphasis on fairness and inclusivity may reshape its political landscape in Abia.
