The Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has rejected claims by Governor Charles Soludo that APC and APGA are working together as "progressives" ahead of the 2027 elections. Soludo, who doubles as National Leader of APGA, has promoted the slogan "Progressives working together" to suggest a political alliance between the two parties. Senator Emmanuel Anosike, Anambra APC Chairman, dismissed the claim during the inauguration of the party's new state executives in Awka on Friday. He stated there is no evidence of collaboration between APC and APGA in Anambra or the South East.
Anosike challenged Soludo to prove the alleged partnership by appointing APC members to his cabinet, allowing them to occupy local government chairmanships, or joining APC himself. He accused the governor of using the slogan to mislead APC members who are actively working to deliver President Bola Tinubu and APC candidates in 2027. The chairman affirmed that the newly inaugurated APC executives would not allow the narrative to confuse supporters. He cited the party's growing membership in Anambra and the South East, support from Governors Hope Uzodinma of Imo, Francis Nwifuru of Ebonyi, and Peter Mbah of Enugu, as well as federal road projects under Tinubu, as signs of APC's impending victory.
Anosike urged party members to remain united, avoid divisive actions, and prepare for the election with seriousness. He described the inauguration as a key step in strengthening the party's structure. The APC, he said, is fully committed to winning all elective positions in the state by 2027.
Governor Soludo claims APC and APGA are working together as progressives, yet he has not appointed any APC member to his cabinet or shared local government positions with them. If the alliance were real, APC members in Anambra would have seen tangible benefits by now. Instead, the party is mobilising against the governor's narrative with public defiance. The slogan appears to serve Soludo's messaging more than any actual political collaboration.
