Anambra 2025: Ifeanyi Ubah/Ekwunife alliance pure business venture – APGA
The alleged alliance of Ifeanyi Ubah and Uche Ekwunife for the Anambra State 2025 governorship and deputy governorship race respectively on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been described as a pure business venture.
Describing the alliance as self-serving , the National Coordinator of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, said the political alliance is just a business venture.
This was contained in a statement made available to journalists on Monday evening.
Obigwe said the duo had nothing to do with the interest of the masses.
Obigwe’s statement read in part,”The truth is that ifeanyi Ubah and Senator Uche Ekwunife political alliance is just a business venture that has nothing to do with the interest of the masses.
“What they are after is their pocket and nothing more.
“The both of them have reached their political end point and they are now fighting a battle of political survival.
“Ifeanyi Ubah knows very well that for him to return to the Senate for 3rd term can be likened to a Camel passing through the eye of a needle hence his reason for defecting to APC as the ruling party at the Federal level.
“The 2025 governorship election is still far but they started the campaign early to scam APC Governors, Ministers and other appointees of APC at the Federal level.
“They are boasting to APC leadership in Abuja that they have the capacity to whittle down Peter Obi political influence and take over the State from Governor Soludo in 2025.
“Well, they can lie and deceive Abuja based politicians but when they return to Anambra, the good people of the State will confine them to where they rightly belong.
“We know their antecedents and will not make the costly mistake of entrusting the future of 5million ndi Anambra in their hands.
“Now let me reveal the agreement between ifeanyi Ubah and Uche Ekwunife.
Continuing, Obigwe said,”The two of them joined APC to contest the 2025 governorship election on the agreement that if anyone among them picks the ticket, the other person will serve as Deputy to the winner of the primary.
“According to their agreement in concrete terms, if ifeanyi Ubah clinch APC ticket for the 2025 governorship election, Uche Ekwunife will become his Deputy but if Uche Ekwunife picks the ticket, ifeanyi Ubah will be her Deputy.
“What I said now is information I got from a reliable source but one thing they don’t know is that ndi Anambra are not seeing them as governorship materials and they will not make the mistake of voting for any of them for Governor.
“The only thing they can get from their political alliance is money and contracts from APC led Federal government but as for Anambra governorship position, it is a no go area for them as long as Anambra electorates are concerned.
“I learnt that APC Governors donate 1billion naira each to anybody contesting for Governor with their party ticket and they have up to 20 Governors in Nigeria.
“What ifeanyi Ubah and Uche Ekwunife are scheming to corner in the guise of contesting the 2025 governorship election is the APC Governors huge donation and nothing more.
“As I predicted earlier, their alliance will not last, they will scatter in different ways immediately after their shameful defeat in the 2025 governorship election.
“APGA faithfuls are not perturbed because the two of them are familiar political foes.
Obigwe maintained that, “With ifeanyi Ubah and Uche Ekwunife joining the 2025 governorship election on APC platform, I say it boldly the of them will be defeated by Governor Soludo because they are not match for him.
“I can close my eyes to predict the outcome of the result of the 2025 governorship election.
“I have no doubt in my mind that APGA will take a well deserved 1st position in that election, PDP 2nd position, Labour Party 3rd position and APC will take 4th position in the election because a lot of factors will be in favour of Governor Soludo in that election.What I said now is what will be the outcome of Anambra 2025 governorship election.”
