Ahead of the governorship election in Anambra State slated to hold in 2025, former governor and ex-minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has cautioned against imposition of candidate in the election even as he boldly predicted that the All Progressives Congress, APC would win the state.
Ngige said APC would seize control from the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra during the 2025 elections.
He assured that internal divisions within the APC would not hinder their victory. He affirmed that efforts would be made to reconcile conflicting factions before the crucial 2025 gubernatorial contest.
Acknowledging the existence of two APC factions in the state, Ngige emphasized the need for unity among members, and lamented that new entrants sometimes overlook the contributions of longstanding members who have dedicatedly served the party through various political transitions.
He highlighted the historical journey of the party from its roots in the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to its current manifestation as the APC.
Despite acknowledging disagreements within the party, he expressed confidence that the experienced leadership within the APC would successfully navigate and resolve internal conflicts.
Ngige asserted that the APC would diligently address its challenges, signalling a strong bid to assume control of Anambra in 2025.
He emphasized the importance of hard work and cautioned against electoral malpractices, sounded the death knell of the era of manipulating results behind closed doors.
Also speaking, APC chieftain, George Moghalu, cautioned against candidate imposition, urging new entrants to align with the party’s democratic processes for a successful 2025 campaign and stressed the need for unity within the party.
