Ganduje: It's Political Dislocation for Anambra to Remain in APGA

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Abdulahi Ganduje, yesterday, said the alleged marginalisation of the southeast was as a result of miscalculations by the people of the region.

According to him, it was miscalculations that has kept Anambra State in political dislocation, saying it would continue to be so until the state dumps the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the ruling political party at the federal level.

He stated this in Nnewi, during a colloquium of the APC, with the theme: ‘De-marginalisation of southeast and integration into national politics.”

The colloquium which was for the south-east was organised by the senator representing Anambra South senatorial zone, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.

Ganduje said: "We are here for the south-east colloquium, but I prefer to speak about Anambra where we are. Igbo are part of ingredients of national integration, they are the most travelled and most enterprising people in Nigeria. They are creative, innovation, competitive and this is the basis of Nigerian economy today.

"Anambra is not making the progresses 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 have been superlative performances on that isolated platform it would have been a different thing. This is a vivid case if selfish politics.
