The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje has urged chieftains and stakeholders of the party in Anambra to work for the party’s victory ahead of the 2025 governorship election in the State.

Ganduje also declared that the South East region is due to be at the mainstream of national politics and cannot afford to remain on the fringes.

The APC national chairman gave the charge during the inauguration of the Anambra Consultative Council held on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to the former Kano governor, Anambra is one of the most strategic states in the country and should not be allowed to remain in the hands of the opposition parties including the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance-led government of Governor Charles Soludo.
He said, “I believe this meeting is part of the strategy by the Anambra APC to re-organise and unite our party members in preparation for the forthcoming 2025 governorship election.

“I also believe that the strategic nature of Anambra in the South East, and by extension Nigeria, makes it expedient for the state to join the centre.

“Therefore, I am convinced that these men and women attending this meeting have the capacity and ability to deliver APC in the incoming election.
“You can only succeed if critical stakeholders like you and others are bonded together in unity. Just like the party’s logo, the broom, a united body can never be defeated.

“I extend the Party hands of fellowship and support to all stakeholders in Anambra. I assure you of the national headquarters’ support towards the Party in Anambra in the 2025 gubernatorial election.”
He added, “That election is crucial to the party and the government at the centre because Anambra deserves to be at the mainstream of Nigeria’s politics.”

His position was also shared by the Chairman of Anambra APC, Chief Basil Ejidike.

Ejidike also charged the newly inaugurated members of the Anambra Consultative Council to live up to expectations and justify the confidence reposed in them by the party.

He said, “This council comprises distinguished elders and leaders of the party with vast knowledge and experience in party politics and governance.

“Convening this council is a sure way of fostering unity, bonding and fraternal understanding, for the overall benefit of the APC. It is the utmost desire of the party to tap from the wealth of experience of members.
“After your inauguration today, I enjoin you to begin to draw up strategies that will enable the party to collectively confront the very arduous task of taking over the seat of governance in Anambra State come 2025.

“Looking at the composition, and membership of this council, the party is convinced that the mission of securing the seat of government in 2025 for the APC is already a concluded issue and a done deal.

“Please, do not betray this confidence reposed in you by the party. Let us all work hard to put our party on the path of progress, and thus bridge the gap in governance in Anambra State.”

The gathering also had the National Deputy Chairman (South), Chief Emma Eneukwu; National Vice Chairman (South East), Dr ljeoma Arodiogbu, Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohaneye and Deputy National Organising Secretary of the APC, Nze Chidi Duru in attendance.
