Anambra Govt Calls on APGA Supporters to Defend Party Against NDC

The Anambra State Government has urged supporters of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, to reject Peter Obi and the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in the 2027 presidential election. The call was contained in a post published on the state government’s official X account, managed by the New Media office of Governor Charles Soludo, on Monday. The government accused Obi, a former governor of the state and the NDC presidential candidate, of working against APGA since leaving the party. In a message titled “A Betrayal Alert for Ndi APGA,” it alleged that Obi had sought to weaken the party that produced him as governor and urged APGA supporters to resist the NDC.

The state government also claimed that President Bola Tinubu had supported APGA at a time Obi backed the opposition, using the comparison to urge party supporters to defend APGA ahead of the 2027 election. The government described Obi as a “betrayal” to the party and called on APGA supporters not to be persuaded to support him. Obi governed Anambra from 2006 to 2013 and formally left APGA in 2014 before joining the Peoples Democratic Party. He later moved to the Labour Party and subsequently emerged as the NDC’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election. The latest exchange adds to an ongoing political disagreement between Obi and the Anambra State Government, which has also involved disputes over his record in office.
