NDC Claims Victory in Anambra Amid APGA Tensions

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has responded to the Anambra State Government's appeal for supporters of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to distance themselves from the party. Theo Abu Agada, the NDC's Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, stated that the government's position stems from concerns over the rising popularity of their presidential candidate, H.E.

Peter Obi, in Anambra State and beyond. Agada asserted that the NDC would "win big" in Anambra, claiming that the state government and APGA cannot hinder their progress.

He criticized the government's inability to challenge Obi's governance record, suggesting that their attacks are merely attempts at blackmail. The Anambra State Government, in a post titled "A Betrayal Alert for Ndi APGA," accused Obi of undermining APGA since leaving the party in 2014 and urged APGA supporters to defend their party.

The exchange also touches on a dispute regarding the state’s financial status when Obi left office, with conflicting claims about debts and funds.
