“We are very much disappointed with the way selfishness have destroyed our economy, extinguished our hopes and sunk this country into debt and growing economic challenges.
“Our own political movement is to bring the pains of the people into the halls of parliament and do all that is necessary to address and eliminate those pains.
“With the levers of power; we hope to demonstrate those ideas, those ideals to which we hold firmly.
“We also hope that with power, we can connect our people to their own resources; we can end fraudulent politics, injustice and deception that has continued unfortunately to find home in our politics today.
“I have been in APGA since the inception of the party. My training as a political scientist has taught me that politics becomes a devious and selfish business in the absence of a sound ideological foundation.
Ideology is the connecting bond for hitherto strangers who come together to forge a common front for collective good. APGA is an ideological party founded on the basic principles of “leaving no one behind”. It is welfarist in a way, only that it encourages productive and responsible citizenship.” He said
Ubajaka said if elected, he would make a huge difference in the way politicians behaved in the country. He said that APGA is the best political party with the political will to change the ugly situation of things in the country.
