The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), His Excellency Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, will arrive in Anambra State on Saturday, February 8, 2025, to commission the newly established APC State Office in Awka. The event will mark a significant milestone in the party’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in the state ahead of the November 8 governorship election.
The visit by the National Chairman underscores the growing momentum of APC in Anambra, a feat credited to the leadership and uncommon support of Sir Paul Chukwuma, who has spearheaded a comprehensive restructuring of the party at all levels in the state.
Speaking on the visit of the National Chairman, Sir Paul Chukwuma described the visit as historic. “For the first time in the history of APC Anambra, we have established functional ward offices across all 326 wards and revitalised our structures in 21 local government areas. The commissioning of this state office is more than just the opening of a building; it symbolises our collective resolve to build a party that stands for progress, unity, and the prosperity of all,” Chukwuma said.
He further emphasised the importance of grassroots engagement and inclusivity, stating that the party had created platforms for women, support groups, and youth participation in leadership roles. “Inclusivity is central to our strategy. We believe that the contributions of all segments of society, especially women and youths, are vital to building a sustainable future for Anambra,” he added.
As the party prepares for the November 8 governorship election, Chukwuma expressed confidence in APC’s ability to deliver a campaign rooted in integrity and people-centred policies. He reiterated that the party’s mission is to bring meaningful development to Anambra and provide a governance structure that improves the lives of its citizens.
The new state office serves as a hub for the party’s activities and a rallying point for members as they intensify their efforts toward a successful outing in the upcoming elections.
The event will draw party faithful from across the state and beyond, further solidifying APC’s position as a rising force in Anambra politics. With unity, renewed energy, and a clear vision, APC Anambra is poised to make history in the governorship election.
