The All Progressives Congress, APC, through its national leadership, has promised to provide the necessary support to wrestle power from the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in the Anambra governorship election.
This was revealed through its National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje in Awka, while addressing the party stakeholders, including governorship aspirants, members and pro-groups.
Part of his statement revealed; “We have to take you back to the good old days, when the South-East was in the centre of Nigerian politics.
“We assure you that the national headquarters of our party, in collaboration with the government of the day, is ready to provide all the necessary logistics arrangements and strategies, in order to ensure that we install the government of APC in Anambra.
“We thank you because we have seen the vigour, commitment and intention to work towards winning the November 8 governoship election,” he said.
He said that a situation where four political parties were controlling the five states in the South-East was unacceptable.
“Therefore, there is the need for the people of the South-East to connect to the national ruling party. “I assure you that we must connect you to the centre,” Ganduje said.
He also revealed that Igbo people are found in every part of the country doing business, adding that their business acumen makes them nationalistic in nature.
According to him, the National Secretariat of the party would work with the Presidency to bring the South-East to the mainstream of national politics.
He therefore pledged the resolve of the APC-led government to ensure that all segments of the country were carried along in terms of development, as he assured electorates that positive efforts were being made by the Federal Government to stabilise the economy and ensure guaranteed security of lives and property of the citizenry.
Ganduje also assured the people that measures have been put in place to ensure that all the past wrongs done against the South-East would be adequately addressed.
He commended President Bola Tinubu for his purposeful leadership “that paved the way for various reforms to bring tension under control through stable security, progress, unity and peace across the country”.
He further called for collaboration amongst all stakeholders and leaders in the South-East, expressing optimism that the country would definitely overcome its challenges and rise to the next level.
9News Nigeria, reports that Ganduje also inaugurated the new Secretariat complex of the party in Awka during his visit.
