Soludo also said APC, which threatened to wrestle power from APGA in 2025 “doesn’t exist” in the state
By Kehinde Okeowo
Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) “doesn’t exist” in the state after the party bragged it would take the state from him in the next election.
The APC had through its state chairman, Mr Basil Ejidike, asserted that the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) would die a natural death when APC takes the state in 2025 during a recent interview.
Responding to the threat, Soludo in a press release signed and released by his Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, insisted that no party in the state can displace APGA.

The statement read: “APC doesn’t exist in Anambra State. Anambra State is APGA land and will forever remain APGA land because the people have come to accept the All Progressives Grand Alliance as their own political movement and there is absolutely nothing the APC or other opposition parties can do about it.
“We have been hearing what Basil Ejidike, the state chairman of APC in Anambra has been saying. It’s like he is not part of the people living in Anambra State. He keeps saying that Soludo has done nothing; maybe he must have been going around blindfolded.
“There is no basis for comparing Ebonyi and Anambra because Ebonyi has been a state that was under a governor for 8 years. Soludo is just two years in office and look at what he has done so far. He can even match up to other states where a governor has been there for 8 years.
“In less than two years, Soludo has turned the entire state into a construction site and it is only a blind man that will say he is not seeing what Soludo is doing in Anambra State. But our consolation lies in the fact that Ndi-Anambra are happy with what Soludo is doing and they are ready to support him.
“There are roads for him to see. There are other infrastructures for him to see. There are so many things Soludo is doing and every normal human being is seeing them. Something must be wrong with Basil Ejidike. He needs to check his entire psychological being to ensure that he is actually a normal person.
“Let me tell Basil Ejidike that Anambra is APGA land and Ndi-Anambra will forever support APGA because APGA is naturally our party,”
Prior to this development, APC has been exuding confidence about winning the state in 2025 since Senator Ifeanyi Ubah decamped from the Young Progressives Party (YPP) and joined the party.
