The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Sly Ezeokenwa, has expressed confidence that the party remains the dominant political force ahead of the November 2025 governorship election in Anambra State.
Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Wednesday, Ezeokenwa stated that the current APGA-led administration, under Governor Chukwuma Soludo, has earned widespread approval from residents due to its performance over the past three years.
“Anambra people can say, ‘We’ve never had it this good in just three years by any elected officials in the past.’ That is the consensus opinion on the streets of Anambra. And in that context, I can tell you, well, there is no contest really,” Ezeokenwa said.
He maintained that the development achieved so far under APGA leadership has solidified the party’s place in the hearts of the people, adding that the electorate sees no reason to change direction.
“On the streets of Anambra, the general opinion is clear, and that is that the state is still very much with APGA. They have not seen any reason to change the trajectory of development that they have witnessed from 2006 to date,” he added.
The APGA chairman’s remarks come shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released its final list of candidates for the upcoming November polls.
While acknowledging that elections by nature involve competition, Ezeokenwa stressed that the prevailing political sentiment across the state strongly favours APGA.
He argued that the party’s unbroken legacy since assuming power in 2006, combined with the achievements of the current administration, gives it a significant edge.
“It appears in Anambra we are tilting towards a consensus candidate, because there is a consensus of opinion, given the massive and excellent performance of the incumbent and APGA-driven ideology,” he said.
Ezeokenwa also highlighted the party’s guiding philosophy of inclusive governance.
“APGA’s ideology of ‘leaving no one behind’ resonates deeply with voters across Anambra,” he said.
With official campaigns set to begin in the coming weeks, the APGA leadership is confident that the party will retain control of Anambra State in the forthcoming governorship election.
