Ahead of the 2025 Anambra governorship election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) says it has concluded plans to take over the state.
Anambra APC chairman, Basil Ejidike disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja at the inauguration of Anambra consultative council.
He stated: “Actualising this mission of the party is majorly dependent on this Consultative Council. The party, with the inauguration holding today, has entrusted the role of driving this ambition on you.
“Looking at the composition, and membership of this Council, the party is convinced that the mission of securing the seat of government in Agu Awka, come 2025, for the APC is already a concluded issue, and a done deal. Please, do not betray this confidence reposed in you by the party.

Ejidike stressed that convening the meeting was a sure way of fostering unity, bonding and fraternal understanding, for the overall benefit of the APC.
He urged party stakeholders to begin to draw up strategies that would enable the party to collectively confront the task of taking over the seat of governance in Anambra Sta come, 2025.
“It is pertinent to reiterate that the party has a target; which is to take over the Agu Awka Government House this time around. In other words, all hands must be on deck, especially in this Council, which is a boardroom of sorts, for incubation of ideas for the good and benefit of the party,” he added.
Earlier, the National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, said the party cannot continue to allow Anambra State to remain on the sidelines of Nigerian politics.
He said he believed that the meeting was part of the strategy by the Anambra State APC to re-organise and unite party members in preparation for the forthcoming 2025 governorship election.
He stated: “I assure you of the national headquarters’ support towards the party in Anambra in the 2025 gubernatorial election.
“That election is crucial to the party and the government at the center because Anambra deserves to be at the mainstream of Nigeria’s politics.
“We cannot continue to allow Anambra to remain on the sidelines of Nigerian politics, hence the need for all to work in unison for the actualization of this mission.”
