The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has said that the party would end the 19-year-old reign of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra state in the forthcoming November 8, 2025, governorship election.
Yilwatda, who stated this on Friday at the All Saints Anglican Church Cathedral, Onitsha, during the party’s national governorship campaign rally for its candidate, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, said APC is a messenger of hope, and he is in Anambra to deliver that message of hope.
He said, “APC will uproot APGA within the remaining eight days and 196 hours to end their reign in this state. We in the APC cannot afford to allow APGA to continue to govern an important state like Anambra as an adopted son when we have our own son in the person of Ukachukwu.”
In his speech, Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, said APC, being the party at the centre, cannot afford to lose Anambra, a state with industrious citizens, this time around, adding that he would like the state to become the 25th APC-controlled state this time around.
Ukachukwu, the governorship candidate of APC, expressed optimism that the party will soon replace “APGA’s deceitful non-performance in the state” with a high level of development in the near future.
He said, “We will soon replace insecurity, multiple taxation, corruption and non-performance and boasting with adequate security, steady power supply, industrial development and agricultural chain”.
Governor of Imo state and Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodinma, assured the electorate in the state that their votes must count this time around.
Chief Basil Ejidike, State Chairman of APC and Hon. Arinze Awogu, national coordinator of Ikemba Front, one of the political structures of APC, in their separate remarks, expressed optimism that APC would take over Anambra Government House.
