A chieftain of Nigeria's governing party, the All Progressives Congress in Anambra State, Nze Modestus Umenzekwe, has said the party will win the forthcoming state gubernatorial election.
He stated this in an interview with The Nation newspapers. President Buhari, he said, has led the country exceedingly well which speaks volumes for the ongoing mass defection to the party since it ousted the former ruling Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) from power.
In the interview he spoke extensively on Buhari's administration which he said, everyone is comfortable with in Nigeria and went on to say that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has failed Anambra State which is enough reason for the APC to dislodge the party in the state when the governorship election come up before long.
Below is an extract from the interview with The Nation newspapers published on January 24, 2016:
Excerpts:
How do you assess the APC government, led by President Muhammadu Buhari?
First of all, I want to congratulate the APC which turned out to be a great opposition that ousted the PDP where Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu proved that he is a political guru, a political giant and the man to reckon with at all times. This is a man that started with only Lagos State and made sure that the entire Southwest was captured and now Nigeria.
This has made it possible for everybody to be running to the APC today. And of course, his colleagues and supporters too numerous to mention can attest to that. Our big brother Senator Chris Ngige is involved, the Minister of works, Housing and Power, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Bisi Akande, Lai Mohammed are to be commended.
Talking about the APC and President Mohammadu Buhari’s government, everybody is very comfortable, despite the economic meltdown that was not caused by the present regime. Besides, the APC government has been doing everything possible to right the wrongs of the past regime and in getting it right for Nigeria. Therefore, the present administration needs to be eulogized.

The governorship election will hold in Anambra State in November. How prepared is the APC in the state?
The APC is more prepared more than any other party, and from what we are seeing today in the state, the APC will win the election in Anambra.
From the array of eggheads that are vying for the ticket of the party, the APGA has no hiding place during the election. But, I want to warn as a staunch member of the APC, people should be careful in not destroying the party because the upsurge of people coming into it should be a worry to the members.
