Rep Sam Onuigbo, a candidate vying for the Abia Central Senatorial ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has raised serious concerns about alleged irregularities in vote allocations during the party's primary elections. This challenge comes at a critical time for the APC, as it seeks to bolster its credibility in Abia State and the broader South East region. Onuigbo's assertions highlight a growing discontent among party members regarding transparency and fairness in the electoral process.

In a statement, Onuigbo remarked, "These discrepancies not only undermine the integrity of our primaries but are also detrimental to the APC's image in Abia State." His comments underscore a significant challenge the party faces as it prepares for the general elections in 2027. With growing tensions and calls for accountability, the APC must address these issues to maintain voter trust and party unity.

Looking ahead, the resolution of these allegations will be pivotal for the APC’s strategy in Abia. How the party handles this situation could ultimately influence its electoral fortunes and reshape its political landscape in the region.
