Hon. Alozie Munachim Ikechi, serving Member of the House of Representatives representing Obingwa/Ugwunagbo/Osisioma Federal Constituency of Abia State and APP candidate for the 2027 elections and Rt.

Your experience, courage and commitment to your constituents will add tremendous value to our collective effort to build a stronger political platform ahead of 2027. The APP is a political home for independent-minded, new-generation politicians who are determined to move away from the old ways of doing politics and embrace a new direction dominated by the people’s interests. Our politics must be about the people, their aspirations, their welfare and their future. That is the politics we are building in the APP.”
