A chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chinedu Obigwe, has dismissed boasts by Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), that the party( APC) will win the 2025 Anambra governorship election using the “Edo template.”
Obigwe, who is the National Coordinator APGA Media Warriors’ Forum, described Ganduje’s statement as “vainglory and flippancy.”
He emphasized that the APC’s tactics in Edo State would not succeed in Anambra State.
He noted that Ganduje’s boasts implied that the APC engaged in “mumbo jumbo and abracadabra” to win Edo, which would not work in Anambra.
“The problem with Ganduje is that he runs his mouth flippantly without considering the implications of what he’s saying,” Obigwe said, adding, “If he thinks they can replicate the Edo strategy in Anambra, he’s daydreaming.”
Obigwe pointed out that APC’s successes in Imo and Ebonyi were due to individual politicians defecting, not grassroots support.
He stated that in contrast, Anambra has consistently rejected APC.
“Anambra electorate passionately dislike APC. APGA has delivered on its promises, and citizens will re-elect Governor Soludo in 2025 for a well-deserved second term,” Obigwe maintained
Obigwe advised Ganduje to focus on addressing his own failures, particularly his inability to install a successor in his home state, rather than making empty boasts.
“Ganduje should be ashamed that his state is governed by an NNPP governor, despite having federal might at his disposal.
“There’s no vacancy in Anambra Government House till 2030,” the APGA Chief stated.
