Former Anambra State Governor, Chris Ngige, confidently predicts that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will assume control from the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra by 2025.
Ngige, the former Minister of Labour and Employment, made this statement on a Saturday while addressing newsmen at his residence in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Ngige observed the presence of two party factions in the state but asserted that it wouldn’t cause issues during the upcoming 2025 governorship election
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.
Kanyi Daily recalls that the Federal Government said it had apprehended the threat made by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to embark on a strike in protest over naira scarcity.
