In a move geared towards taking over Anambra government from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commenced membership register revalidation exercise across the 21 local government areas of the state.

The state chairman of the APC, Chief Basil Ejidike, represented by the Deputy State Secretary of the party, Sam Oraegbunam, made the disclosure, yesterday, in Nnobi, Idemili South LGA during the homecoming event organised by the party to welcome new entrants and welcome back former members of the party who had decamped to other parties.

The APC chairman stated that the party was poised to not only win election, but form the next government in Anambra State, and with the unity of members in selecting the best candidate among the array of what he described as “seven over qualified” aspirants, the party would surely triumph during the November 8, 2025 election.

A grassroots politician and community leader, Chief Obiora Okpala, said the homecoming event signified the show of strength and unity of the party members in not only Wards 1, 2 and 3 in Nnobi, but the entire people of Idemili South LGA towards winning the November 8 election.

Okpala described Nnobi as strategic in election winning in Idemili South LGA, while their coming together in the homecoming was a reaffirmation of their readiness to take over the Awka Government House. He expressed delight that the people of Anambra State have come to embrace APC in the current political dispensation, while the right narrative about APC is now being told, a clear departure from what it used to be when the ruling party in the state often branded the party in a negative light, in order to continue reaping the political gains.

“Today is Afor Nnobi market day, but more than 5,000 people gathered here, today, to express their eagerness and readiness to connect with the party at the federal level in Anambra. Our people are ready to move on because the narrative that Anambra belongs to a particular party that has been in government is being changed today,” he said.

APC Zonal Welfare Officer, Anambra South, Mrs. Nonye Ndinechi, while welcoming the decampees, described politics as a game of numbers and expressed optimism that the returnees would swell the chances of the party to victory in the next election. Another state officer of the party, Okwudilichukwu Oguejiofor, disclosed that former members of APGA, PDP and Labour Party were among those who joined APC in the homecoming event.
