Abdulahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has warned Anambra State’s billionaires not to use their money to divide the party ahead of the governorship primary on April 5, 2025.

The chairman also stated that the ruling party will hold a free, fair, and transparent primary election.

Ganduje said on Tuesday in Abuja during a courtesy call from a support group called ‘Booth to Booth with Bola Tinubu’.

He stated: “As a party, if we are to have good primary in the state, all our stakeholders are supposed to be born again. We told them that this time around, business should not be as usual. Let us support the system.

“We know they are very rich, they have a lot of money, but they should not use the money to scatter the state.

“They should not use the money to scatter the state but to develop the state and build APC. In fact, I will be highly interested if they can produce a candidate, consensus, I will give them an award.

“You mention the option of direct or indirect primary. As an institution, I assure you, we will sit down and the National Working Committee in conjunction with the leadership of the party, we will come back with whichever method for the primary.”

Earlier, Iyke Madu, the group’s National Coordinator, recommended the National Working Committee to use an indirect primary to decide the party’s candidate due to instability in the state.

He stated that the state government was unable to organise local government elections due to insecurity.

Madu stated: “There is issue of insecurity in Anambra as we speak, even the state government could not conduct their own local government elections due to insecurity.

“They wrote to certain communities telling them that, due to insecurity, elections cannot be conducted in those places.

“And we are thinking, if a state government cannot conduct their own local government elections due to insecurity, it’s going to be difficult for a party that does not control the state to do direct primaries.

“So we are here only requesting for the party to make these primaries indirect primaries. Our constitution provides for that.”
