*The APC in Anambra State must learn from experience and not be deceived by the rhetorics of capacity.*

By Progressives Media

While we commend the renewed activities in the party as we await the Independent National Electoral Commission's go-ahead to begin the activities for the Anambra 2025 gubernatorial elections, we must advise our dear party to be wary of falling into the same trap it did in previous election cycles.

The APC in Anambra has become too accustomed to the rhetoric of illusory capacity at every election cycle, missing the big picture - the body language of voters and what statistics point towards. In 2017, we approached the election with a firm belief that we had found a magic candidate who had the power to win elections. In 2021, we repeated the mistakes, learned nothing from experience, and sank deeper.

Yet, in 2024, party members who have witnessed these scenarios have refused to learn from both experiences and are determined to plunge the party into another faux pas. Election dynamics are too wide and loosely connected for one factor to determine the possible outcome for any candidate.

In a bid to propagate this rhetoric of capacity, some have resorted to pushing narratives based on false equivalence - comparing apples and oranges. The fact that a candidate won election A does not automatically confer the right to win election B, which has different dynamics. We have seen situations in Nigeria where Senators could not win local governments in their senatorial zones during gubernatorial elections despite winning them during their senatorial contests.

Incredibly, no previous winners of the gubernatorial elections in Anambra since its creation in 1991 had any prior record of winning any election until their victory in the gubernatorial election. Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife and Dr Chimaroke Mbadinuju had no election victory under their belt before they became governors. Peter Obi won on his first attempt, as did Obiano and Professor Charles Soludo.

If we must discern anything from this data, it is that Anambra voters do not factor in the illusionary political capacity to vote for a candidate and are more likely to vote for a greenhorn than a career politician. There are many deductible reasons for this, but that is not our intention for today.

In conclusion, the Anambra APC must restrain itself from falling into the old rhetoric of capacity and focus on what matters - listening to the Anambra voters and their desires, then finding a strategy to ingrain the party into the hearts of the voters. This is the only way we can win an election.

In Anambra State APC,it is only competent and Strong character that determines the candidate and not zoning. Those who are afraid of contest should not even present themselves for election because Anambra State can only field its best.

Good bless Anambra State, God bless progressive family

Thank you sir Paul Chukwuma. May the good Lord continue to bless you.

GO0DHardDick:
Nigerians should shun tribalism if it wants to grow higher!

It is worthy to note that Tinubu supporters are the problem here on nairaland, to them you dare not criticise Tinubu because he is a yolluba man but they forgot how they disgraced and dragged innocent Jonathan to the mud despite how the country was prospering gloriously under GEJ.

All Nigerians are asking Tinubu is for him to take Nigeria back to how he met it during GEJ era abeg! Take the country back to the days of PDP corruption. It is far better than this Tinubu tribulations! May God have mercy on yolluba people come 2024 because the suffering just began

Sometimes you need to apply common sense, you must not talk for the sake of talking

I believe parenting comes with a huge responsibility and one's style may be different from others. Far from being a conservative, I think it is wrong to expose your naked body before your children. From the ages of 3 to 4 children become more aware of their environment, so it is more appropriate to inculcate sense of modesty in them

I hate this man with passion. This is the same man that in his 8 years as a govenor of Anambra State,no single teacher was promoted. Teachers in Anambra State lived a miserable life under his watch. What a hypocrite

Happy birthday APC image maker Anambra State, many more happy returns.

People should be reasonable for once. Federal government does not give Legislators money. National Assembly enjoys full financial autonomy and decides how to spend their money.

[color=#990000][/color]it is you and your likes that are creating problems in Igbo Land and not Hope.

discusant:
For the next Imo guber election, if APC hires hoodlums or employs Nigeria's armed forces to force voters in Imo state to stay at home so that Hope Uzodinma will write election results and submit to INEC for approval, as usual, the only way through which Hope Uzodinma can have 2nd term; hell will be broke lose in the whole of Nigeria.
Nd'Igbo have suffered enough from the misdeads of Uzodinma started in Orlu area shortly after he became governor, the violence spreads to all parts of the South East and beyond.

When you don't stay close to your state and don't know what happens at home, you came up with this kind of imaginary article. Let me assure you that Gov Hope Uzodinma will continue to be in your brains for the next 4 years as the governor of Imo state

Amb Elijah has been a constant friend of APC media forum in Anambra State, God bless him for always making himself available to lead from the front. Same with Sir Paul Chukwuma. They are great men

Congratulations to Anambra State @32.

We pray for more progress and developments.

your foolishness is legendary. Nobody in your entire generation will be able to get close to the personality of Tinubu



Things people do out of sheer foolishness.

Of everyone to named your child after, it's chicago drug Lord, a thief, incoherent dullarrd, a pathological liar. Why will you do this to your son? what on earth will make a father this senseless. It's so sad , sad indeed.

Shey when this child start to misbehave tomorrow, or start talking incoherently and foolishly, you'll wonder why?

Capacity Mercy Williams, the founder City Boy progressive. We are solidly behind you

Why Peter Obi was busy visiting South Africa to learn how to govern Nigeria, South Africa in return visited Bola Ahmed Tinubu to see how to bilateral agreement with the incoming government of Nigeria.


Oga na Master

Obi-dient shildren have started again ooo. Na only lie they shabi

I will start taking him serious after INEC announce 2023 presidential election results and Peter Obi wins benue state

Na Yahoo Yahoo boys full Benin city, so it is not surprising they are supporting one of their own.

All these fake life and media attention is not working. Don't show me how Peter Obi trekked home in Lagos, show me one person he empowered before becoming a govenor and one person he empowered as a public figure for eight years.

Gov Yahaya Bello will surely lead this nation in the nearest future

The only way out of this current political quagmire is given the youths who represent over 70 percent of the voting population a sense of belonging and His Excellency Gov Yahaya Bello represents that yarning and aspirition.

#Bello4APCticket

Yahaya Bello is the best man for the job. He understands the dynamism of Nigeria state and he is equipped with the strength and mental capacity to move this country forward

Yahaya Bello is the best

There is no better way to say it, Gov Yahaya Bello in his 7 years as Kogi state governor has demonstrated that a secured Nigeria is possible and we believe that given his track record in securing kogi state, that Nigeria security challenges will be a thing of past if elected the president of Nigeria.

#Hope23
#YahayaBello
#Thegap

Whenever the name Gov Yahaya Bello is mentioned, one thing that comes to my mind is,it is time the Nigerian youths takes their destiny by their hands. Let us aggressively support our own. He has the capacity to heal the many wound of our past and create a Nigeria of our collective dreams.

It is Yahaya Bello for president

Capacity personified. Your ability to turn bad situations to a pleasant ones are not in doubt, your have demonstrated that in Kogi state, making Kogi one of the safest state in Nigeria.

It is Yahaya Bello for Nigeria president or nothing.

Yahaya Bello is unarguably the best gift, Nigerian youths can ever asked for. Give us Yahaya Bello

It is Yahaya Bello or Yahaya Bello, the incoming president of Nigeria

He is a man with heart of gold, he is a political genius and came prepared to Savage Ndi Anambra central from poor representation. Ndi Anambra central chi efola

Ok
