The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State has declared its readiness for the November 8th, 2025, governorship election, with a strong appeal for fair electoral processes.
Dr. Valentine Iyke Oliobi, the Publicity Secretary of the party in the state, who disclosed this in a statement in Awka on Friday, emphasized the party’s commitment to giving Ndi Anambra a new direction focused on security, progress, and development.
Dr. Oliobi described the upcoming election as pivotal for the state’s future, highlighting the stark choice before the electorate. “Ndi Anambra has a choice between darkness, backwardness, and insecurity, which characterize the present government, and the true prosperity, security, and development the APC stands ready to deliver if entrusted with the mandate,” he stated. Anambra deserves leadership that reflects the will of its people, and the APC is prepared to meet that call responsibly and with commitment.”
He further stated that the “November election isn’t just another poll; it’s a choice between two distinct futures for Anambra. The APC is committed to ushering in a period of true progress, security, and sustainable development.” He called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure a transparent and fair election process, essential for fostering public trust in the outcome.
