The All Progressives Congress (APC), Abia State, has said that the claim by the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC),that Senator Nkechi Nwaogu (our own Mama APC) is a member of their party is false.
Abia APC said that for the purposes of clarity and to put the records straight, Senator Nkechi Nwaogu remains a bonafide member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Uche Aguoru, Publicity Secretary
APC, Abia State, said that Senator Nwaogu purchased the APC Senate nomination form and participated in the APC Senatorial Primary Election held on the 18th day of May 2026.
According to Aguoru,Senator Nwaogu scored 12,033 votes to emerge as the runner-up in that election conducted by the APC, with Hon. Erasmus Cishark serving as the Returning Officer and Chairman of the APC Senatorial Primary Election Committee.
He added that for the sake of emphasis, Senator Nwaogu’s name is contained in the party’s register submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the 10th of May 2026, being the last day for the submission of party registers to INEC and there is also no record of her resignation from the All Progressives Congress.
“We are sufficiently aware that Mama APC, Senator Nkechi Nwaogu, having served as a lawmaker, and an experienced one at that understands the legal implications of double registration. We therefore have no reason to believe that she would consciously subject herself to such a situation.”
Aguoru said that it is important to state categorically that all her registration details, including her membership card details, remain APC’s database and in the database of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a member of the All Progressives Congress.
“let us repeat for the second time that at no time did our cherished Mama APC resign her membership of the All Progressives Congress.
“We consequently call on the NDC to desist from circulating information that is misleading and inconsistent with the records available to the relevant authorities and to refrain from creating unnecessary confusion among members of the public where the facts are clear and verifiable.
“The membership records of distinguished Senator Nwaogu is documented and her participation and financial records are verifiable.”
