The Anambra APC chairman, Basil Ejidike, has said that the party is collaborating with APGA to win the 2027 presidential election in the state.

Mr Ejidike said this on Tuesday during the APC stakeholders’ meeting in Awka. Anambra is led by Governor Charles Soludo.

Addressing the stakeholders at the meeting, the chairman said, “We are working with the ruling APGA to make sure that we deliver 95 per cent of Anambra votes to the APC and President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.”

He also affirmed the party’s support for Tinubu in the 2027 Presidential Election.

“I move the motion that we, the Anambra APC, adopt President Bola Tinubu as our presidential candidate in 2027,” Mr Ejidike said.

The motion was seconded by the party’s stalwarts in the meeting, including Nicholas Ukachukwu, the APC governorship candidate in the November 8 election in the state, and his running mate, Sen. Uche Ekwunife.

The chairman further said that the meeting was convened for the Congress Harmonising Committee to organise members at the unit, ward and local government levels for the upcoming ward congress, starting on Wednesday.

Mr Ukachukwu underscored the need for party discipline and unity among members if the APC must win the presidential election and other elections in the state.

“Anambra APC will grow when the right things are done. We joined the APC to make the party better in Anambra, and not to cause confusion or chase away the people we met in the party,” Mr Ukachukwu said.

He frowned upon the situation in which an APC stalwart would defect to another party, return later, and still want to maintain his position, instead of queueing up to give others a chance.
