In his words: “APC is a failure, as a young person who joined politics at a very young age, we have been hearing youth participation in governance and the “Not Too Young to Run” in governance and politics. APC doesn’t represent that, the same old set of politicians still represent us. So I found out that it is better I take this decision to leave APC and join my folks and work out strong. We have done it before, it’s time to do it again.”

Uluocha pointed out the strength of YPP by recalling how the party produced Senator Ifeayin Uba who got elected from the platform of YPP to represent Anambra South district in the 9th National Assembly. Thus, Uluocha affirmed that the party has made reasonable impact in the south east political space and affirmed a repeat of such in Abia State.
