Ganduje explains why Anambra state is denied of infrastructure and other benefit

According to Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Anambra State is engaging in self-serving politics. The federal government is denying it infrastructure and other amenities.

ZINGTIE reports that Ganduje said this at a colloquium hosted by the APC Southeast chapter in Nnewi. The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, is a political dislocation for Anambra State to stay in rather than align with the centre, according to the former governor of Kano State.

He argues that the region’s incorrect estimations are more to blame for the South East’s marginalization. According to him, Anambra State will remain politically unstable until it leaves the APGA and joins the APC, allowing it to negotiate for what it wants.

He said: “We are here for the South East colloquium, but I prefer to speak about Anambra, where we are. Igbo are part of the ingredients of national integration. They are the most travelled and most enterprising people in Nigeria. They are creative, innovative, and competitive, and this is the basis of the Nigerian economy today.“

“Anambra is not making the progress needed. Anambra has had Peter Obi, Obiano and now Soludo, all from APGA, as its governors, and that is 25 years of political dislocation for this state. They need to join the ruling political party and they will be happy and better for it.”

“Why should Anambra continue to live in isolation? If there had been superlative performances on that isolated platform, it would have been a different thing. This is a vivid case of selfish politics. Other states have joined APC, but Anambra’s refusal to connect to the centre has denied her people the infrastructure and other benefits.”

“You have to be at the table to negotiate what comes to you and if you are not at the table, no one will speak for you. Anambra is the only place where APGA is in government and the party has refused to grow.”
