As the All Progressives Congress prepares for its governorship primary in Anambra state, David-ChyddyEleke reports that with the calibre of aspirants the party parades, there is a tough battle ahead.
Recently, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has become the toast of politicians vying for elective positions in Anambra State, but it never used to be so. Long before now, the party was almost a pariah party, whose members were looked upon as outcasts. It was even more during the days of the former president, Alhaji Muhammad Buhari. Insecurity occasioned by the activities of Fulani herdsmen, who seemingly had the nod of the president who incidentally was also a Fulani caused hatred for the party.
At party rallies, it was common to hear a contestant deride their opponents in APC by asking the crowd: “Would you allow Fulani party to take over power in Anambra State?” and the audience will chant a resounding ‘no’ in unison.
