APC Anambra Fixes March 29 for Gubernatorial Primary Election
By Mmaduabuchi Onwumelu
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Anambra State Chapter has scheduled the gubernatorial primary election to hold on the 28th day of March 2025 in preparation for the gubernatorial election slated for 8th November 2025.
In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary APC Anambra State, Dr. Valentine Iyke-Oliobi said the information was communicated by the State Chairman Hon. Sir. Basil Ejidike who brokered the news to the members of the State Working Committee yesterday, 23rd January 2025, after their meeting at Abuja.
According to the State Chairman, the decision was taken after the meeting of the National Working Committee held a few days ago at the APC National Secretariat. The meeting was in line with the meeting held with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) boss Prof. Mahmood Yakubu with the heads of all the political parties a few days back.
The All Progressives Congress found it imperative to meet and design a program for the Anambra State Gubernatorial primary election and communicate to the INEC within the ambit of the Electoral Law.
According to the State Chairman, we are ready and determined to conduct a free, fair, and credible primary election that will be acceptable to all aspirants. Under my watch, I will do everything humanly possible to continue to keep Anambra APC as one indivisible family through guaranteeing them a free, fair, and credible primary election come March 29th. In achieving the above aim, the party will go for the election with an all-inclusive house, and victory will be assured.
Furthermore, it is pertinent to know that a total number of four Aspirants have declared their intentions to fly the party flag come November 8th. They are, Sir. Paul Chukwuma, Late Sen. Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, Chief Sir Azuka Okwuosa, Prof. Obiora Okonkwo and Hon. Evangelist Nicholas Ukochukwu. But unfortunately, we lost one of our best, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah to the cold hands of death on July 27th last year. May his soul continue to be at peace with his Maker. And arising from Sen. Ubah’s death and vacancy, Chief Azuka Okwuosa decided to run the race for the replacement of Sen. Ubah in the Red Chambers with Chief Dozie Ikedife Jnr.
Consequently, news has it that in a few days’ time, many will be declaring their intentions to the Guber position, having seen the primary election timetable provided by the APC National Secretariat. But as of today, APC Anambra State has, Sir. Paul Chukwuma, Professor Obiora Okonkwo, and Hon. Evangelist Nicholas Ukochukwu as the official Aspirants in the Governorship race. While Rt. Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji and High Chief Engr Johnbosco Onunkwo and two other persons may join the guber race by next week.
