APC ready to take over Anambra come 2021 – says chairman

ONITSHA, Anambra, Nigeria – Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra state, Chief Basil Ejidike has affirmed the party’s readiness to defeat other contending parties  for the office of the governor come 2021.

Ejidike who spoke to  our correspondent in Awka Anambra state capital said the party is now better positioned and organised to take over the leadership in the state.

According to Ejidike, with the poor performance of All  Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)  and the rejection of the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) in Anambra state, APC is  the only party to beat.

He disclosed that, as the  Chairman of the party, he was working round the clock with members of the State Working Commitee, (SWC) and other  stakeholders to ensure a unison of ideas that would send the ruling APGA  party out of the state house.

“ I am quite upbeat about the chances of the APC in Anambra State come 2021. I am just coming from the solidarity rally held for our National Chairman in Edo State and I even addressed the crowd that gathered there. You see, I am quite upbeat because we are a party on ground and have our sensors connected to the pulses of the people.

“We feel their pains owing to the failure  of this government. Obiano has failed in terms of security, employment, education, food security and infrastructural development.

“This government has indeed failed, the PDP is not even prepared for leadership and so it behoves on us in the APC to begin to present our ideas and our agenda to the people, in order to win them over. 

We are the only party in Anambra with an agenda, ask other parties what do they have in stock for the people and you will hear banalities, repeated cliches, now, we are rooting to transform Anambra from where it is now to a first three state economy in Nigeria and first twenty economy in Africa.

To achieve this, we are doing our best to put square pegs in square holes, we are still solidifying party structures at the grassroot levels, interacting with the ordinary Anambra citizen on the streets, disabusing their minds on how they perceive the party and I can tell you we are progressing.”
