Awka, Anambra state - The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has said there is no doubt that Anambra state and the South East belong to the party.
The national publicity secretary of APGA, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, stated this while reacting to the national chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje’s claim that Anambra was not making expected progress.

Ganduje said Anambra is not making much progress because it is not connected to the central government, Vanguard reported.
Opara said Anambra residents would like to know why Kano state under Ganduje decided to disconnect from the APC-controlled Centre for the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP)
He said:
“First, I wonder the level of progress Kano State made under Ganduje’s APC that resulted in a revolutionary and historic rejection of the party by the people in 2023 as the people opted, instead, to vote for the NNPP and were ready to stake their lives to defend their votes.”
Opara said the APC is nonexistent in Anambra state and should drop the idea of taking over the state from APGA.
“Anambra, and indeed the South East is APGA land. There is no doubt about this, and even where the region decides to negotiate a handshake to the centre, the APC has proven not to be such a viable alternative.”
He said Anambra has remained a state of many firsts under Governor Charles Soludo’s administration.
Opara said Anambra won the award as the state with the best deployed ICT, and the state was also named as the state with the least out-of-school children record.
“If all these awards are what it takes to be disconnected from the centre, then Anambra will gladly remain disconnected.”
APC will take over Anambra from APGA, Ganduje declares
Legit.ng earlier reported that Ganduje said the ruling APC would take over power from APGA in Anambra state.
Ganduje said APGA has refused to grow and it is affecting the progress of the south-east state.
The former Kano governor said that’s the reason former governors quickly abandoned APGA after they had governed the state.
