Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu, member representing Ideato North/South Federal Constituency and chieftain of the Action People's Party (APP), has declared the APP the biggest opposition party in Imo State. He spoke during the inauguration of newly elected ward and local government executives in Akokwa, Ideato North, on Saturday. According to him, the party maintains the strongest structure across all wards and local governments in the state. He stated that no family in Imo is without a member affiliated with the APP, attributing the party's reach to its open-door policy and commitment to equity and fairness.
Ikeagwuonu noted that APP holds the second-largest representation in the National Assembly from Imo State, with two out of the 10 federal constituencies. He described this as a milestone and expressed confidence in expanding the party's footprint ahead of the 2027 elections. He claimed the party's legislative impact and community projects are significant, particularly in water, sanitation, outreach, and empowerment. He added that all ongoing projects would be commissioned within one month due to their volume.
The lawmaker urged grassroots leaders and members of the development forum to broaden the party's base and ensure inclusivity. He warned that any leader found underperforming would be replaced.
Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu claims APP is Imo's biggest opposition yet offers no verifiable metric beyond having two federal seats. The assertion relies on vague claims of structural dominance and household presence, which cannot be independently assessed. If party strength is measured by legislative output, the promise to commission many projects within a month may be the only tangible proof. Until then, the gap between assertion and evidence remains wide.
