Mayor Lucky Igbokwe Joins APC, Sends Fresh Energy Into Abia Politics

Mayor Lucky Igbokwe, known as Don Lulu, has moved from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress. His entry signals a strategic shift in Abia politics. Party leaders view his move as a strong step that strengthens their structure in the state.

He brings wide grassroots reach, strong youth engagement, and steady involvement in the creative sector. His presence gives the party a lift across Abia because he draws support from young people, entertainers, and community groups. This matters in a state where voter participation often depends on personality influence and local credibility.

During the event, he thanked President Bola Tinubu for his leadership. He also acknowledged the National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, and the Abia APC leadership team. He praised their effort to draw credible figures who believe in progress and growth.

Observers in Umuahia note that his move shifts attention toward future political contests. Supporters say his decision reflects rising interest in stronger competition ahead of upcoming elections.
