Nwankwo asserted that APGA will displace the current ruling party from both state and federal legislative roles, emphasizing that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is gradually losing influence as politicians within their ranks increasingly recognize APGA as the embodiment of Igbo political representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This isn&#8217;t just empty talk; the political implications are clear. The outcome of primary elections for other parties will propel APGA to the forefront by 2027,&#8221; Hon.
