CHIEFTAINS of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State have resolved to work together towards delivering the state to the party in the 2025 governorship poll in the state.
They spoke at the weekend when Senators Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah and Uche Lilian Ekwunife were formally presented to APC members in Anambra.
Ubah, had last month, announced his defection from Young Progressives Party (YPP) to the APC.
The chairman of APC in the state, Chief Basil EJidike, who received the two senators, hailed the leadership qualities of President Bola Tinubu, while requesting more commitment from the members of the party.
Ejidike, who spoke about the prospect of the APC taking Anambra in 2025 through the new entrants said: “We can achieve this great feat if we want, because the manpower and resources are readily available.
“Year 2025 affords us yet another opportunity to contest and win the Anambra State Government House. Let us, as one family, work towards achieving this goal for our party.
“I enjoin you, the new members, not to fail to sustain your dogged and positive humanitarian spirits, which is your hallmark. We urge you to double this inherent spirit in your service to the party.
“The APC will definitely provide you the platform to do more in this regard. I pledge our unalloyed support and cooperation in all our dealings with all of you. Please, be rest assured that the party is large enough to accommodate everyone’s political aspirations.”
Chief Ejidike, noted that the flag of the party will fly in the Government House, Awka come 2025 which he said would make him fulfilled.
Ubah, in his speech, said the wait for the APC to take Anambra had ended.
“APC will no longer keep quiet in Anambra, pretending that all is well when things are going wrong. APC has finally arrived in Anambra State.
“For the past 20 years of democracy in Nigeria, Anambra State has been lagging behind in national discuss.
“It is now time for us to move to the centre. I am not afraid of debate with anybody. When the time comes, we will all stand for the debate.”
“My interest is to ensure that Anambra State is attached to all the benefits that accrue from the centre (Federal Government),” Ubah added.
Ekwunife, on her part, appreciated members of the party for welcoming her and her teeming supporters, promising to support the party in all aspects.
She said the APC is now the party to lead in Anambra State and solicited for peace and unity among members of the APC in the state.
