The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Anambra says it will oust the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, from the Government House in 2017.
Organising Secretary of the party in the state, Prince Samben Nwosu, made this known during an inaugural meeting of the party’s executive council of Nnewi North Local Government Area yesterday.
Nwosu pointed out that the PDP, in a move to actualise the dream of taking over Anambra in the next election, has reconciled factions in the party to become a united big family under one strong indivisible umbrella.
While claiming that Anambra is a PDP state, Nwosu added that the incumbent APGA merely capitalised on crisis and factionalisation which rocked the PDP in the past.
He said, “I am happy to inform you that every shade of interest has been taken care of in the newly constituted and inaugurated executive council which has automatically taken care of issues of our party splitting into many factions, as a result of that, many of our members who are on sabbatical in other political parties have started discussing with us to facilitate their return.”
The PDP Organising Secretary further explained that another factor that would help the party regain power in Anambra State was what he described as colossal failure of the APGA government to address major issues of power, roads and infrastructure especially in the industrial town of Nnewi, the headquarters of Anambra South senatorial zone.
He said, “I was shocked to hear that Governor, Chief Willie Obiano came to Nnewi and flagged off street lighting project of an individual, to make matter worse, the so called street lights are on roads that are not motorable. So of what purpose is a street light on a bad road?”
“But then the failure of APGA is the gain of PDP because it is now a common knowledge among the good people of the State that they need a credible alternative to a government that is only working on billboards, PDP will give them that alternative.”
