“I am here as a politician, a true South Easterner and a very proud Igbo woman. Today is home-coming for me. This is where my heart has always been. Before, the enabling environment was not created for various reasons but now, it exists, so I am now where my heart belongs,” she said.

The former Minister of Aviation under former President Goodluck Jonathan said she believed in having a political party with a philosophy and which can easily connect with the needs and aspirations of the people.

“Political party should be where philosophy resonates. I had always believed that without philosophy, political parties will be mere association of businessmen and women but APGA goes far beyond that. It is a movement. “APGA is where you care about your neighbour.
