Ngige emerges APC candidate for Anambra guber election; Okonkwo to lead campaign


Former governor of Anambra state and a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chris Ngige, has been declared the candidate to fly the party’s flag at the November 16 governorship election in the state.

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, broke the news Wednesday afternoon.

According to him, the choice of Nigige was made after a truce reached over a deadlock that had threatened the unity of the party in the state.

He further disclosed the south-east caucus of the party agreed on the candidature.

Main rival, Senator Annie Okonkwo, will lead Ngige’s campaign, an indication that he may be given an automatic ticket to return to the Senate in 2015 or hold a key position in Anambra government if APC wins the November poll.

“The choice of Ngige was reached through a consensus. Those who thought we shall not succeed today have been disappointed,” Okorocha said.

Dont know all the people contesting in APC

Good things happening in Anambra.

Anambra state elections is a focal point in Nigeria's political future. Along side other pre-2015 elections it may foretell the outcome of the next electoral showdown in Africa's most populous country.The new party is currently being baby sitted and it'll only take the firm hands of a former PDP member to steer the wheels properly (Ngige). Ngige in APC is till same Ngige when he was in PDP! Nothing changed. Same ideologies, philosophy, positives and negatives. APC's simply a conglomeration of loosers eager to oust the incumbent. Their manifesto is pretty much whacked and lack lustre, nothing to impress on the learned mind. Congratulations Ngige, but Anambrarians shldnt expect anything new!

Senator Ngige Chris,as go in2 d Govt House u hav 2 beware of d lyks of Uba n Co. 4 History nt 2 repeat itself. Congrate Boss.
