Ahead of the primary election in Anambra State on April 5, the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) has declared that none of the seven candidates running for the party’s ticket have been officially approved.

During the Anambra stakeholders’ meeting, which was called by the party’s national leadership, Abdullahi Ganduje, the party’s national chairman, revealed this on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to him: “We, members of the National Working Committee, are just catalysts. Catalysts are not part of the chemical reaction, but we aid the process, creating an enabling environment so that the election can take proper shape. We are not in conflict with any of you. Our only objective is to have one of you emerge as our candidate.”

Ganduje asked the candidates to support the candidate who wins the primary election and becomes the party’s nominee.

In addition, the national chairman urged unity and warned against generalizing about any candidate.

He added: “It is not easy to win an election against an incumbent government. It requires strategic political calculation, and cooperation is key.

“So, please, we urge and implore you—no litigation, no anti-party activities, no sitting on the fence, and no lukewarm attitude. What we require is your active participation.

“All of you will benefit if we secure government in multiple states. You will be integrated into the national grid. As it stands, you are like rural electrification—a weak link.

“So, help us to help you. You are all equal in our eyes. You are all our children—all the aspirants.

“Therefore, please, do not harbour any stereotypes against any member regarding this contest. We support all of you. Once one of you emerges as the candidate, we implore you to rally around him and become foot soldiers for the party so that we can win this election. We do not want a repeat of the Andy Uba episode.”

Chief Basil Ejidike, the party’s chairman for Anambra State, earlier praised the national leadership for setting up the stakeholders’ meeting and called it a constructive move.
