Ahead of April 5, 2025 governorship primary election of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC) has held an inclusive stakeholders meeting with all the seven aspirants and other major stakeholders in Anambra State.

Speaking at the meeting which held Tuesday in Abuja at the national secretariat of APC, Ganduje told the aspirants that it will be impossible to unseat an incumbent governor without a solid unity among all the stakeholders.

According to him, no anti-party, no sitting on the fences and no lukewarm attitude among all the aspirants and stakeholders.

“So, what we are saying, we need your cooperation. We, members of the National Working Committee, we are just catalysts. Catalysts are not part of the chemical reaction, but we are catalysts.

“We aid, we give an opening environment so that the election, the action will take proper shape. We are not fighting anybody among you. Only what we want is to have one of you that we can put forward.

“You know it’s not easy to get the government from any incumbent. It requires a lot of political calculation. And cooperation is one of them.

“And then we move into other political calculations, which we don’t need to talk about them now, because we have not reached the stage yet. So, please, we urge, we beg you. No litigation.”

The National Chairman told the Anambra stakeholders that all of them will be gainers if the APC have government in the state.

“You will be fixed to the national grid. As we have been saying, you are now a rural electrification, which is very weak link. So, help us to help you.

“You are all equal as far as we are concerned. You are all our children. All the aspirants.

“So, please, don’t have any stereotype on any of our members concerning this contest. We are all for you. Once one of you emerges, we beg you.

“Please rally around him and become the foot soldiers, so that we win this election. We don’t want the Andy Guga episode. The beauty self.”
