Alexander Ikwechegh, the representative for Aba North and South in Nigeria's House of Representatives, has resigned from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and plans to announce a new political affiliation soon.
Alexander Ikwechegh, who represents the Aba North and South Federal Constituency in Nigeria's House of Representatives, has formally announced his resignation from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in a letter addressed to the party's Ward Chairman. The resignation is effective immediately, as stated in the undated handwritten letter obtained by Punch. In the correspondence, Ikwechegh expressed gratitude towards APGA for the opportunities he had during his tenure, reflecting a sense of respect for the party despite his decision to leave.
Although the letter did not outline specific reasons for his departure from APGA, the timing and context suggest a significant political shift may be on the horizon for Ikwechegh. He has indicated that he intends to join another party, a move that could impact the parliamentary representation and party dynamics within the constituency and beyond.
