The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State, Chief Basil Ejidike, has disclosed that the state chapter of the party has gotten waiver to extend it ward congress Election after the November 6th Election in the state. 

He however debunked the claims in some quarters that there was no governorship primary election in the state.

Ejidike, who spoke to newsmen at the party office on Friday in Awka, Anambra state capital, reaffirm the fact that the party conducted free and credible governorship primary election on the 26th of June 2021 which he said produced Senator Andy Uba as the candidate of the party. 

According to him, Senator Andy Uba emerged the candidate of the party after a governorship primary election that most APC members in the state participated in.

He however stated that APC Anambra has affirmed the candidature of Uba and his name has been submitted and listed with Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the flag bearer of the party in the forth coming gubernatorial election in the state.

“The party held its governorship primary election on 26th June 2021 that produced Andy Uba as candidate. Today we have a candidate in the person of Senator Andy Uba and we also have his running mate in the person of Barr. Emeka Okafor. The fact is that the party has a candidate whose name has been listed with INEC,” he said.

Ejidike however stated that the efforts of the party in the state has yielded positive results as the membership drive of the party in the state has increased the number of the party on the state from 200,000 to over 500,000 at the last count and therefore urged members of the party to support the vision of Senator Andy Uba to emerge the next governor of the state which will evidently connect Anambra to national Politics.
