He stated: Today, I officially joined the All Progressives Congress at the ward level. Our country Nigeria is going through a transition phase and to unlock the next chapter which will bring prosperity to the nation, citizens have to make a deliberate effort to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration
I am joining the APC to support the government and contribute to the development of our dear country.
I want to thank all my supporters from Abia State who have followed me on this journey.
I hope this epoch event will encourage more young Abians, indeed igbo youths from the southeast to start aligning with national politics.
