A group known as APGA 21/21 Support Group has collapsed its structures across the 326 political Wards of Anambra State into All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2025 governorship election.
The support group, which comprises of some former Ward chairmen and executive members of All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, were instrumental for the landslide victory of APGA in the 21 local government areas of the state for the re-election of former Governor Willie Obiano and the election of Professor Soludo in the last governorship election.
At their meeting at Umueri in Anambra East local government area, the group declared its support for the governorship aspiration of Sir Paul Chukwuma of the APC for the 2025 election.
They also resolved to go back to their various wards to ensure a resounding victory for Chukwuma in the APC primary, as well as in the main election.
They said their decision to support Sir Chukwuma followed a thorough assessment of all the aspirants who have indicated interest in the governorship election.
According to them, their aim is to save the state from being dragged back to what they called, the old days of violence, ethnocentric politics, maladministration and lack of human capital development which are being witnessed in the Prof. Soludo's administration and the APGA government.
Mr Nchee Chinedu who spoke on their behalf said: “We have looked at Sir Paul Chukwuma's track record, we have seen indelible marks, we have seen your progressive mindset and achievements in our political landscape.
We have seen your intellectual capacity and we believe Sir Paul Chukwuma is the man Anambra people need at this material time.
Outside these qualities, we have also found, looking at the mission statement of Sir Paul Chukwuma, a young vibrant man who is at the same time soft spoken, eloquent, articulate and professional.
On the forthcoming APC primary and governorship poll in the state, our group has resolved to go back to our various wards and register to become full members of APC so as to support the governorship aspiration of the APC chieftain, Sir Paul Chulwuma for the fact that he is a grassroot politician, an entrepreneur and a man who possesses the character traits of a great leader.
He is accessible, humble, brilliant and devoid of the negative drama that has dotted the histories of his competitors."
