The All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, has described as a mere wishful thinking, and at best, political hallucination, Peter Obi’s recent promise to mobilize over two million votes for the Labour Party, LP, Candidate, Chief George Moghalu in the Anambra Governorship election scheduled for November 8, 2025.
The party questioned the political influence of the LP presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections given the political equation of the State.
In a statement the National Coordinator of the APGA Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe , the ruling party in Anambra State insisted that Obi’s remarks which it claimed was made during the flag off of the electioneering campaigns of the LP flag bearer, penultimate week, is “an empty propaganda from a headless mob of Obedients.
Obigwe noted that the Obedients are completely incapable of unsettling the political balance in Anambra State, and or even mount any significant electoral challenge.
“As far as the November 8, Governorship election is concerned ,Peter Obi ,and his so-called headless Obidient mob can not achieve anything”
“Anambra people are wiser now, and will not be misled into making a regrettable mistake at the polls.”
For the records ,in 2017, Peter Obi backed Oseloka Obaze against then Governor Willie Obiano ,and suffered a defeat, including losing in his Anaocha Local Government Area .
In that election, APGA won in all 21 Local Government Areas of the State, thereby underscoring the party’s dominance in Anambra’ State.
” Fast forward to 2021 , when Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo’ ran for Governor, Obi, again threw his weight behind Valentine Ozoigbo, and campaigned vigorously across the State.
Yet, he lost to Prof Soludo who won 19 out of the 21 Local Government Areas , including Anaocha ,Obi’s home base”,the APGA Media Warriors Forum stated.
The Forum National Coordinator expressed the belief that Obi’s political trajectory and influence have proven so ineffective in the State, that he cannot meaningfully determine where the pendulum will swing.
According to Obigwe ,there is little or nothing Obi can do to sway victory the way of Moghalu ,the LP candidate , noting that Governor Soludo’s remarkable achievements have made him the candidate to beat on November 8 2025.
Obigwe also dismissed the possibilities of any strong impact from the alliance entered into between the LP flag bearer and some political figures in the state.
“Senators Victor Ume and Tony Nwoye ,who have promised George Moghalu heaven on earth ,are just deceiving him. Anambra’ people know better, and will not take these two people seriously.
“Governor Soludo’s second term is already a done deal. Anambra’ people are satisfied with his performance . Come November 8 ,2025 Peter Obi and his headless Obedients will be treated to another round of humiliation” Obigwe asserted.
