APGA is winning the Anambra governorship election easily

Governor Obiano said the PDP and the APC gave up participation in the poll the moment APGA nominated a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Chukwuma Charles Soludo, as its standard-bearer.

He said:

“The PDP and APC are in such low spirits and disarray now that they cannot choose running mates two weeks after they held their controversial congresses where the PDP, which held two parallel congresses, chose two candidates from the same local government area to fly its flag.
"And the APC announced the result of an election in which not one single person, not even Senator Chris Ngige, the party’s leader in the state who is also the minister of labour and productivity, saw the electoral materials, let alone allowed to vote.”

It is game over for the opposition

Vanguard also reports that Obiano noted that everyone in the state knows that the game is over for the PDP, adding that there is no point wasting their time and resources.
