Anambra APC Suffers Mass Exodus Ahead Of Governorship Poll
In the wake of the recently concluded party primary elections in Anambra State, the All Progressives Congress (APC) is experiencing a notable crack, marked by mass resignations from key members.
These members are citing irregularities in the primary election that favorably positioned Nicholas Ukachukwu as the party’s candidate for the November gubernatorial election.
In Nnewi South LGA, numerous APC stakeholders and leaders have also chosen to step away from the party. In Njikoka LGA, specifically in Nimo ward, nearly all executive members of the party have handed in their resignations
As of April 12, 2025, a great upheaval has occurred within the Anambra State chapter of the APC, with no fewer than six local government party Chairmen resigning from the party.
This mass exodus is seemingly linked to the recent emergence of Sir Paul Chukwuma as the YPP candidate in the upcoming November Governorship Election in Anambra State, which took place just two days ago. In the span of just Thursday and Friday, the Anambra APC has already lost hundreds of members.
According to statements released in some of the resignation letters from former APC leaders, stakeholders, and members in Anambra State, the primary reason for their departure was the party’s primary election, which they claim was marred by irregularities. The fallout from the APC Governorship Primary Election, which resulted in Mr. Nicholas Ukachukwu being named the party’s flag bearer, has become a major threat to the stability of the APC in Anambra State.
Similarly, Mike Ejezie, a key figure in the APC in Ihiala and former State Chairman of the ANPP, has exited the APC to take up the position of YPP’s Southeast Zonal Chairman.
Also, Chief Jude Osude, a prominent APC Chieftain and community leader in Aguata LGA, is poised to make the move to the YPP.
