APC Will Capture Anambra After Soludo ~ Nwokafor

Gov Soludo

‎A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2021, Ozo Dr. Amobi Nwokafor has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will take over Anambra State after the tenure of Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo.

‎Nwokafor, who spoke with newsmen in  Awka, maintained that the current All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) state government, led by Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo is APC in spirit because APGA, according to him, had to play APC to be able to win the last governorship election, otherwise the incumbent governor would have been removed.

‎He explained that with the way and manner Nigerian politics is headed, APC will take over Anambra after Soludo because Ndigbo, according to him, are beginning to understand that they should not play second fiddle in Nigerian politics anymore; instead.

‎Nwokafor further explained that upon the creation of Nigeria, the forebears noted that the Igbo people should play politics at the centre for them to realise the goal of politics.

‎According to him, the forebears had opined that Ndigbo should be at the centre all the time to be relevant in the affairs of Nigeria. That any time they lose the chances of being at the centre, they would become a minority.

‎The administrator and chartered accountant recalled that in the second republic, Ndigbo got a vice presidential slot and thereafter got president of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives respectively.

‎He expressed deep concern that Ndigbo have relegated themselves to the background today in Nigerian politics as they are no longer at the centre where critical decisions are taken.

‎Nwokafor also expressed hope that Ndigbo were beginning to rediscover themselves with the emergence of leaders like Sen. Hope Uzodimma, the Governor of Imo state, former Ebonyi state governor Dave Umahi, and Peter Mbah, the governor of Enugu state.

‎He said the above mentioned leaders have seen the dire need for Ndigbo to be at the centre for them to move forward in Nigeria, reiterating that after Soludo, nothing will remain as APGA because a lot of Nigerians of Igbo extraction would have understood that they have to be at the centre to play politics and to get what is due for Ndigbo in Nigeria.

‎Nwokafor also spoke on what he tagged wrong impression that Anambra is APGA land, saying APGA politicians in the state have implanted a certain consciousness in the minds of the people that APC is not a political party for Igbo people.

‎He stressed that Ndigbo were beginning to regain consciousness that they need to align with the government at the centre to get what is due to them.
