Rep Mascot Ikwechegh dumps APGA as party crisis deepens in Abia

AI Summary

House of Representatives member Mascot Ikwechegh submitted a resignation letter to the APGA Ward Chairman in Aba North, ending his affiliation with the All Progressives Grand Alliance. The resignation follows a recent wave of resignations by local government executives and ward officials in Aba North and Aba South. APGA’s Abia State Chairman, Sunday Onukwubiri, said the party had not been formally notified and affirmed that the party remains strong despite the departures. With Ikwechegh’s exit, APGA has lost its last federal legislator from Abia, after Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe left the party in December 2025. The party’s next steps regarding its presence in Abia remain unclear.
