Former Governor of Anambra State, Chris Ngige, has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will take over power from the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in Anambra in 2025.
Ngige, the immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, said this on Saturday while speaking to newsmen at his home in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Ngige noted that there are two factions of the party in the state but maintained that the situation would not be a problem when the next governorship election comes up in 2025.
He said: “Of course, there is APC 1 and [there is] APC 2 in the state. I will not deny that. I am both the father and face of APC in Anambra. I am certain that some newcomers have joined us since 2021.
Party is like a church in which you do not stop people from entering; you do not stop people from entering the party to look for salvation or to support the government in power.
But the challenge is that the new entrants do not want to reckon with old members who have laboured for the party. The old members laboured for the party from the time we were in the Social Democratic Party, SDP, to Advanced Congress of Democrats, ACD, to Action Congress, AC, to Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, and finally birthed as APC.”
