The National Leader of the opposition Action Peoples Party (APP), Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, has declared that the party will match the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State force for force in the forthcoming 2027 elections, asserting that the party will not be intimidated.
Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere made the declaration during the inauguration of the newly elected Ideato ward and local government executives of the party in Akokwa, Ideato North, on Saturday.
Ugochinyere, the Member for Ideato Federal Constituency and the House Committee Chairman on Petroleum Downstream, stated that he will win his re-election bid regardless of whether the election is free and fair.
The lawmaker enjoined the new executives to eschew divisive tendencies and move into action to ensure the party’s grassroots support base is consolidated.
Ugochinyere noted that the APP has become the major opposition party in the state, with two members in the House of Representatives.

“Our party, APP, after APC, is the biggest political party in Imo State today. APC has eight lawmakers; we have two, and others have none. That makes APP the number one opposition party in Imo.”
“We are going to confront APC aggressively, and I want you to be proud of what we have built. We are going to overrun them.”
“We hope there will be a free and fair process, but even if the process is not free and fair, we will play in that unfair process. Nobody has a monopoly on anything. It must be played by the rules.”
“We will not go into an election where we say if the election is free and fair, we will win. We are saying that if the election is free and fair, we will win. If the election is unfair, we will still win. If there is no network, you will transmit the result; when the network comes, it will go. We will down any house where results are being written. We will protect our votes both at the polling units and the collation centres.”
“We want peace, but if you say you don’t want peace, we won’t yield ourselves to be molested. We have a right to be alive,” the legislator submitted.
