As the All Progressives Congress (APC) prepares for its National Assembly primaries, Abia Central Senatorial zone leaders are rallying behind Sam Onuigbo, emphasizing his candidacy as a strategic choice for the party. Onuigbo, a seasoned politician, has garnered significant support among local stakeholders, who believe his experience aligns well with the demands of the constituency.
In a recent statement, Abia APC Chairman, Chief Emeka Nwankwo, asserted, “We must unite to ensure that Sam Onuigbo represents us; his track record shows he is committed to the welfare of our people.” This call for unity comes in light of internal divisions within the party, as various factions vie for influence ahead of the primaries. Onuigbo’s previous tenure as a member of the House of Representatives has positioned him as a familiar face in the political arena, which could prove advantageous as candidates seek voter loyalty.
Looking ahead, the APC's endorsement of Onuigbo could significantly impact the party's chances in the upcoming elections, potentially solidifying its presence in Abia State. As the primaries approach, the party's ability to present a unified front will be crucial in navigating the political landscape.
