APC vows to Use Every Strategies to Takeover Anambra State in November Governorship Election
The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has vowed to provide the necessary strategies to takeover Anambra State from the state ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, during the Anambra governorship election.
Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the APC, made the statement on Saturday in Awka, while addressing party stakeholders, including governorship aspirants, members and pro-groups.
Mr Ganduje also inaugurated the party’s new secretariat complex in Awka during his visit.
He said, “We have to take you back to the good old days, when the South-East was in the centre of Nigerian politics. We assure you that the national headquarters of our party, in collaboration with the government of the day, is ready to provide all the necessary logistics arrangements and strategies, to ensure that we install the government of APC in Anambra.
“We thank you because we have seen the vigour, commitment and intention to work towards winning the November 8 governorship election.”
The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, quoted the APC chairman to have said that a situation where four political parties were controlling the five states in the South-East was unacceptable.
“Therefore, there is a need for the people of the South-East to connect to the national ruling party. I assure you that we must connect you to the centre,” Mr Ganduje said.
He also said that the Igbo were found in every part of the country doing business, adding that by their businesses, they were already nationalistic in nature.
According to him, the national secretariat of the party will work with the presidency to bring the South-East to the mainstream of national politics.
Mr Ganduje assured the people that the measure would ensure that all the past wrongs done against the South-East would be adequately addressed.
He commended President Bola Tinubu for his purposeful leadership “that paved the way for various reforms to bring tension under control through stable security, progress, unity and peace across the country.”
He called for collaboration amongst stakeholders and leaders in the South-East, expressing optimism that the country would definitely overcome its challenges and rise to the next level.
“Our president is the most articulate, who believes in the progress, reforms and unity of the country. With your collaboration, we will take Nigeria to the next level. We will work for you and we are seeking for your cooperation. We must connect you to the centre and national grid of politics,” he said.
Earlier, the state party Chairman, Basil Ejidike, lauded the party’s national leadership for uniting members towards greatness.
Mr Ejidike said that the party leadership and members were working together with plans aimed at winning the November 8 poll.
He said, “APC in Anambra State is now the beautiful bride with many heavyweights with capability and ability trooping into the fold, which has made a huge difference.”
The five APC governorship aspirants in the state include Paul Chukwuma, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, Chukwuma Umeoji, Johnson Onunkwo and Nicholas Ukachukwu.
