From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha
The National Coordinator, All Progressives Grand Alliance Media Warriors Forum, Evang. Chinedu Obigwe has chided the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje over his recent declaration that APC will take over Anambra from APGA.
Ganduje was in Anambra during the weekend when Senator Ifeanyi Ubah hosted a colloquium and empowerment programme for members of Anambra South Constituency.
Obigwe who lambasted Ganduje over his comments said the APC National Chairman is living in “fools paradise” to think that APC will take over Anambra reminding him that Anambra electorates will humiliate him in 2025 by thwarting his plan to foist Ifeanyi Ubah on them.
He said Anambra electorates cannot be swayed by the gimmick of connecting to the centre through APC because APGA with Soludo as Governor has fully connected Anambra to the centre.
“The most annoying part of Ganduje’s ranting is his claim that Anambra under APGA is not making expected progress. Ganduje that was talking about Anambra, governed Kano State on the platform of APC for 8years but the people of Kano rejected his plan to foist a successor on them and voted for NNPP.
“So what he was unable to do in Kano is what he is giving Ifeanyi Ubah the false hope that they can do for him in Anambra. Wonders shall never end. Kano electorates rejected Ganduje gospel of connecting to the centre and voted for NNPP in the last 2023 election.That singular action of Kano electorates stripped Ganduje of the moral justification to preach the useless gospel of connecting to the centre anywhere in Nigeria.
“He should ask Mallam Buni that was APC Caretaker Committee Chairman about what he saw in the hands of Anambra electorates in 2021. He should also ask Hope Uzodimma that led Andy Uba campaign in that election. Anambra is not a state-imported politicians like Ganduje can dictate for their electorates.
He said the good people of Anambra are happy with APGA governance of the State for 18years and they will continue voting for the party without minding whose ox is gored.
“Anambra recorded tremendous progress under the watch of APGA Governors. An adage says that when a road is good, you follow the road the second time. This is exactly what Anambra electorates are doing with APGA because the party is living up to their expectations”.
“Governor Soludo is obviously the best Governor in the history of Anambra State creation. So anybody coming to Anambra to preach the gospel of connecting to the centre is wasting his or her time. APC led Federal government know this hence the reason they brought Governor Soludo closer to be tapping from his God-given talents and wealth of experience”.
“Under 2 years, Governor Soludo did for Anambra people what Ganduje failed to do for Kano people during his 8 years reign as their Governor and that is the main reason Anambra people will discard his ranting. The prayer of Anambra people is for Governor Soludo to be re- elected in 2025 so that they will continue enjoying his administration’s delivery of dividends of good governance in their State till 2030,” Obigwe stated.
