Chris Ngige Optimistic About APC’s Prospects in Anambra, Sets Sights on 2025 Victory

Chris Ngige, a prominent figure in Anambra politics and a former governor, recently spoke out about the dynamics within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state and its future prospects. Addressing the party’s history, Ngige emphasized his role as a key figure in the party’s evolution, from its inception as the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to its current status as the APC. He acknowledged the influx of new members into the party since 2021 but expressed concern that these newcomers were not adequately recognizing the contributions of long-standing members.

Ngige highlighted the challenges of integrating new members while maintaining harmony with the party’s old guard, who had been instrumental in its growth over the years. He stressed the need for inclusivity and mutual respect among members, suggesting that the party’s leadership, both within the government and the party structure, was capable of navigating these complexities.

Looking ahead to the 2025 elections, Ngige expressed optimism about the APC’s chances in Anambra but cautioned that success would require hard work and a departure from past practices, notably referencing the need to avoid electoral malpractices such as result manipulation.

Despite his involvement in politics, Ngige mentioned that he was currently on sabbatical and would make a decision about his future political endeavors by May 2025. He urged party members to remain steadfast and uphold the values of the APC, emphasizing the importance of unity and perseverance in achieving their goals.

In the context of the upcoming elections and the APC’s internal dynamics, Ngige’s remarks reflect a strategic approach to addressing the challenges facing the party. His call for unity and hard work underscores the importance of a cohesive and dedicated party structure in pursuing electoral success.
