The Action Peoples Party (APP) has officially welcomed two new members of the House of Representatives into its fold following their defection from their former political platforms, a development widely seen as a boost to the party’s legislative strength at the national level.
Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, representing Ideato Federal Constituency, and Matthew Nwaogu, representing Aboh-Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency, defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party respectively on Tuesday.
The National Chairman of the party, Uchenna Nnadi, announced the appointment of Hon. Ugochinyere as the Leader of the APP House of Representatives Caucus, while Hon. Nwaogu was named Deputy Leader.
The appointments underscore the party’s commitment to consolidating its influence within the National Assembly and strengthening internal legislative coordination.
Chief Nnadi, while congratulating the lawmakers on their decision to join the APP, charged them with the responsibility of providing purposeful leadership for the caucus.
He urged them to distinguish themselves through the promotion of people-oriented legislation, robust advocacy, and impactful constituency projects that align with the party’s vision and broader national development objectives.
