Chris Ngige, former Governor of Anambra State and immediate past Minister of Labour and Employment, confidently predicts a political shift in Anambra as he anticipates the All Progressives Congress (APC) taking over from the incumbent All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in 2025.
Ngige shared this insight with the press during a conversation at his residence in Alor, Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State on Saturday.
Highlighting the existence of two factions within the party in the state, Ngige assured that the internal dynamics would not pose a hindrance during the upcoming gubernatorial election in 2025. He acknowledged the presence of both APC 1 and APC 2 in Anambra, emphasizing his role as not only the face but also the father of the APC in the state. Ngige acknowledged the influx of new members since 2021, drawing a parallel between the party and a church where inclusion is encouraged without sidelining longstanding contributors.
Furthermore, Ngige delved into the party’s historical journey, tracing its evolution from the Social Democratic Party (SDP) through the Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD), Action Congress (AC), Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), to its current manifestation as the APC. This historical perspective aimed to underscore the party’s resilience and continuity amid changing political landscapes.
