“In the last two months, the APC Anambra has witnessed a huge influx of great personalities into the party. The Senator representing Anambra South, Sen Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah with his teeming supporters and associates decamped to APC from the YPP, in October 2023. Also in November Sen Dr Lilian Uche Ekwunife and her supporters joined our fold in APC Anambra.
“We have many others: former lawmakers and even the Presidential Candidate of APGA in the 2023 Presidential Election Justice Peter Umeadi, Rtd And Former PDP National Publicity Secretary Chief Barr Olisa Metuh who are also part of us in APC Anambra today.
“So in terms of human capacity, we are growing in leaps and bounds in Anambra APC, re-engineering and strategising to take over power from the underperforming APGA-led government of Soludo.”
Okoye expressed confidence that APC Anambra is united and it Is the party to beat in the governorship election.
He explained that:
“Our party the APC has mapped out many strategies to win the Anambra 2025 Guber Election and we may not come to the media to showcase all of them. Be rest assured that we are repositing APC Anambra for good. Just recently about two weeks ago, all the major APC Anambra Stakeholders visited the APC National Secretariat in Abuja, where we paid homage to the national working committee of our party led by Dr Abdullahi Adamu.
Never in the history of APC Anambra, has party leaders, stakeholders and members alike ever united as witnessed currently and as terrified by the National Chairman himself. I was personally at that meeting and can tell you, APC is now the party to beat in Anambra State.”
The APC chieftain said the party is popular in Anambra contrary to what many people think. He added naysayers will prove wrong at the 2025 governorship election.
“To the onlookers and naysayers, APC may not be a popular party in Anambra, but wait till the next few months when we shall reel out some of our strategies to mobilise Ndi Anambra, then we shall know which party is more acceptable or not. … Anambra Governor Of APC extraction is 2025 Is not just inevitable but a desideratum.”
