In the last two years, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State has undergone a remarkable transformation, thanks to Sir Paul Chukwuma's visionary leadership and tireless support. His dedication to repositioning the party has rejuvenated its structures and instilled a renewed sense of purpose among members and supporters. As the state prepares for the November 8, 2025, governorship election, APC Anambra stands stronger, more organised, and ready to make a significant impact at the polls.
Tomorrow, Saturday, February 8, 2025, the National Chairman of the APC, His Excellency Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, will commission the party’s new state office in Awka. This monumental milestone underscores the party’s resurgence under Sir Paul Chukwuma’s philanthropy.
Sir Paul Chukwuma has spearheaded a grassroots-driven approach to party-building, ensuring that APC has a solid presence across the state:
* Functional Offices in 326 Wards: For the first time in years, the party has operational offices in all wards, providing a platform for grassroots mobilisation and direct engagement with the people.
* Revitalized Local Government Structures: With 21 fully operational local government offices, the party has strengthened its organisational capacity at the sub-state level, ensuring effective coordination and communication.
* Re-energized State Leadership: The soon-to-be-commissioned state office in Awka is a physical structure and a symbol of APC Anambra’s readiness to lead with transparency, unity, and purpose.
Sir Paul Chukwuma’s leadership goes beyond infrastructure. He has successfully mobilised key stakeholders, inspired party members, and attracted new supporters, positioning APC as a formidable contender in the upcoming governorship race. His efforts include:
* Strategic Reconciliation: Bringing together previously divided factions within the party, fostering unity, and ensuring that APC speaks with one voice.
* Youth and Women Inclusion: Creating platforms for the active participation of youths and women in the party’s decision-making processes, reflecting the APC’s commitment to inclusivity and progress.
* Policy-Driven Campaign Preparations: Laying the groundwork for a campaign that prioritises the needs and aspirations of Anambra’s citizens, signalling a shift toward people-centred governance.
The commissioning of the state office by H.E. Ganduje is a moment of pride and a call to action for APC Anambra. It represents the culmination of years of hard work and the beginning of an intensified effort toward the governorship election. The National Chairman's presence not only highlights Anambra's importance in APC’s broader vision but also endorses Sir Paul Chukwuma’s outstanding leadership.
With a clear focus on the governorship election, APC Anambra is sending a strong message to the state's people: the party is ready to govern, bring meaningful development, and offer a fresh vision for progress. As the party continues to rally its base and engage with the electorate, tomorrow’s event will undoubtedly serve as a rallying point for members and a signal to opponents that APC is coming on strong.
Anambra, get ready. The APC is here to redefine the political landscape, and under the leadership of Sir Paul Chukwuma, the future is bright.
