As political parties in Anambra State gear up for the conduct of party primaries to determine candidates for the gubernatorial election slated for 8th November this year, as directed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has dismissed the strength of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the Labour Party (LP), and all other opposition political parties to wrest power from the incumbent administration. It described these parties as “literally suffering various terminal illnesses and hospitalised in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), battling for their lives.”

The National Publicity Secretary of APGA, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, in a statement made available to journalists on Saturday, said only APGA would be going into the election in a stable condition.

The statement reads: “As we approach the conduct of political parties’ primary elections for the 2025 Anambra governorship elections, only the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is going into this process as a stable entity. Every other political party is in the intensive care unit, paying for oxygen to even survive.

“What they planned for APGA is happening to them. The negative actions or schemes that a group of people intended to inflict on APGA are now being experienced by them instead, essentially suggesting a form of karma or a situation where the perpetrators are now facing the consequences of their own actions.”

“The APC has essentially been deserted by anyone in Anambra State with a modicum of integrity and has become a union of political perverts where the centre cannot hold after 29th March 2025. The Labour Party is basically a group of wannabes propelled by the belief that luck would come to their rescue.”

“For the PDP, I am constrained from kicking a man that is already down and out of the ring. In the overall analysis, there is actually no credible opposition for APGA. And as a party, APGA is immensely proud of Governor Soludo’s outstanding achievements in 34 months. Whatever it is they say about ‘one good turn’ should be the case of the Solution administration. If you must controvert this, please do so with unassailable facts,” Opara stated.
