The former Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige, has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is poised to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State come 2025.
Ngige, a former governor of Anambra,
made these remarks on Saturday during a gathering at his home in Alor, Idemili
South Local Government Area. The event was organised for the distribution of
palliatives to party members, persons with disabilities, and the elderly.
Acknowledging the existence of
two factions within the APC in the state, Ngige expressed confidence that the
party would triumph in the 2025 governorship election, assuring that
disagreements among members would be reconciled before the election.
“Indeed, there are two factions
in the state’s APC. I won’t deny that. I am both the father and the face of APC
in Anambra. I am aware that there have been new members who joined us since
2021. The party is like a church; it welcomes newcomers seeking salvation or
supporting the current government.”
“However, the challenge is the
reluctance of the new members to recognize the efforts of old party members who
have toiled for the party since the days of the Social Democratic Party (SDP)
through various transitions to finally becoming the APC.”
Ngige stressed the need to
resolve internal disputes, stating that the party’s leadership, both at the
government and party levels, comprises experienced politicians who understand
political intricacies.
