APC steps down from from Anambra LG polls.

The Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has stepped down from the forthcoming local government election which is scheduled for September 28.

The party is not only stepping down but also taking Governor Chukwuma Soludo, the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission, ANSIEC and House of Assembly to court.

Basil Ejidike, the state chairman of the party addressed the local government and ward party chairmen in Awka saying participating in the election would amount to endorsing illegal activities as ANSIEC and the state governor, Chukwuma Soludo, are not ready to conduct a free, fair and credible election.

He said, “The governor has already set up a tribunal at the Anambra State High Court, here in Awka for political parties that wish to challenge the outcome of the election.

“Governor Soludo is not transparently prepared to give Ndi-Anambra an accountable local government system.

“We are already in court to challenge the process, because APC, being a major opposition party in Anambra State, must try as much as possible to live by example. The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Labour Party have also gone to court to challenge the irregularities; we applaud them,” he stated.

The state chairman of the party also announced that they would be touring across the 21 local government areas in preparation for the 2025 governorship election in the state.

The party held a minute’s silence in honour of the late Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, who was a frontline governorship aspirant of the party before his death.
