The South East Zonal Coordinator of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Council and All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate for Anambra Central, Senator Uche Ekwunife, has declared that the party remains too formidable to be intimidated by opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general election.
Ekwunife said the APC, with 32 state governors under its fold, was positioned for victory, citing what she described as the performance of President Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking to party leaders in the Anambra Central Senatorial District in Awka, Ekwunife expressed confidence that the party had the “winning spirit” and was well positioned to achieve favourable results in the coming polls.
“Political party is a vehicle to get to your destination and it is the same everywhere, so it is you that will sell your own party for people to vote for your party,” she said.
“We have a President that is doing very well and a party that has 32 Governors in Nigeria, a party that has the power of incumbency, a party that is empowering the grassroots — why can’t we win election?
“We have the capacity to win this election and we must accept that first of all, and we will not sit back and allow other parties to intimidate us, neither can we be interested by them.
“We are in this race to go house to house, door to door, market to market, town to town, ward to ward, man to man, women to women and youth to youth to win election.”
She added that the party’s campaign slogan of “top to bottom and bottom to top” reflected its intention to contest and win all elective positions in the state.
“We are running for all positions and we will win all positions, and we are not singling anybody out,” she said.
Ekwunife announced that the party was setting up ward and polling unit coordinators as part of efforts to further mobilise and canvass for support ahead of the election.
Speaking earlier, the Zonal Chairman of the party for the Central senatorial zone, Chief Augustine Muomaife, said the party was being galvanised toward the election, urging all members to return to their wards and polling units, noting that elections are won at that level.
Also speaking, the party’s State Secretary, Chief Obi Okpala, said Ekwunife’s entry into the race had unsettled other political parties, adding that the “owner” of the Anambra Central senatorial seat had returned to reclaim it.
