The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State has protested the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) led by Chukwuma Soludo’s dominance in the activities of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Mr Basil Ejidike, the state party chairman, stated over the weekend that Soludo’s domination in Anambra issues, even at the federal level, has become a challenge to the state chapter of the APC.

He stated that all positions going to Anambra from the Federal Government had candidates from the APGA, and that rice sent to all states to alleviate the effects of hardship had Anambra’s part rebagged with the governor’s image and handed to just APGA members last Christmas.

Appealing to Tinubu, Ejidike said: “Sir, may I seize this opportunity to draw your attention to some challenges confronting the APC in Anambra State, that require your kind intervention.

“The issue of appointments made by the Federal government without recourse to the party is inimical to the growth and success of the party in our state, as these appointees do not reckon with the party at the state level.

“Whereby, most of those who have made and are still making heavy sacrifices for the party have not been adequately rewarded and appreciated, many of those who have gotten juicy Federal Government appointments in the past were mainly non-party members, drawn especially from our rival All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).”

He stated that the tendency has failed to inspire or motivate party members and is jeopardising the party’s strength and passion for victory in the Anambra 2025 project.

“At the ward, local government and state levels, our members are being discriminated against, as APGA does not recognize or reckon with those who are not their members in the distribution and allocation of government appointments and incentives.

“More worrisome is the fact that what we as a state get from the federal government as incentives and palliatives are usually sent through the state government.

“Sequel to the above, non-APGA members are denied access to them. It is on record that bags of rice sent as palliatives by the federal government were repackaged, and Governor Soludo’s pictures and APGA logo embossed on those bags, thereby giving the impression that they were provided by the governor.

“This arrangement has continued to diminish our party’s influence and reach within the state, and we are terrified to say the least.

“APC in Anambra have come with a passionate appeal, asking that you (Ganduje) intervene and save our members in Anambra from neglect.

“Your kind intervention, Sir, will bolster the morale of our committed party men and women towards the task ahead,” he added.
