“Our focus is on holding the government accountable, advocating for good governance and championing the interests of our people while working extremely hard to win in future elections.

He said robust and constructive opposition which the party would provide, would enable Abians get what they truly deserve in governance.
The NNPP acting Chairman, who tipped his party to record great performance in future elections, explained that mechanisms would be put in place to address aggrieved members’ complaints, adding that such strategies would help in membership drive and cohesive focus.
Apugo who said that the visions of NNPP founder, Boniface Aniebonam, for peace, freedom and social justice, would be actualized, saluted Ukpai Iro Ukpai the former guber candidate of the party and other candidates for flying the party’s flag in the last general polls in Abia.
