“Nnewi South and Ihiala have not produced a senator in the region before.
“Ukpor and Nnewi South supported the late Ifeanyi Ubah when he was contesting; it is now time to support Nnewi South.
“Show me support by voting massively for Chief Nwachukwu.
“The late Ifeanyi Ubah was elected on the platform of YPP- a faction of APGA in 2019. Today, APGA has come back as one united family to reclaim its place,” the governor said.
Mr Soludo also said the party stands for a transparent, open, and credible electoral process in the forthcoming election.
