“We have been having all other positions but one which is the Presidency but how do we get there ? “
“We need strategic partnership with the center which is workable and the money for these infrastructural development is not from Anambra or any state in the South East but from the Federal government”
“This why it matters that we back the government at the center and some people are saying no and let us fail but there;are consequences for failing and no one gets second position in an election it is always first “
“Our lone ranger status in politics is our bane and we shall continue to say the truth no matter what they say “
“From the days of former president Buhari up til now we have been playing politics of protest and it has led us to no where at all and that is why we have remained the way we are “
“Politics is all about interest and it in the interest of Ndigbo to support President Ahmed Bola Tinubu who despite or 5,000 votes votes in the last election he won the last election, so it means that despite the votes from here he can still be President” he said.
Deputy National Organizing Secretary of the APC who represented the National Chairman of the party Bar Emeka Okafor described the political alliance almost instructive and highly commendable.

“Mr Governor we see the good works of your administration and I must say that what is good is good and this Anambra state is the salt of Nation”
“We are here for a particular purpose and that is to make sure that we are part of the cake that is being shared in Abuja comfortably”
“There are people that would be looking but they are not seeing and I do not know if there is any other politician you are looking for in Anambra state”
“The APC is the largest political party in Africa and with the alliance with APGA and other political parties there is no gain saying the fact that Anambra delivering Mr President come 2027 general election “
“And for the fact that you accepted to be the Coordinator of Mr President and to bring all of us together that means that we shall now be in the main stream of governance at the National level”
“Mr President Ahmed Bola Tinubu has changed the narrative and from Enugu to Awka is about 45 minutes and no more like before.”
“Now go to Onitsha and you will discover that things are changing and this is happening now that we are yet to go into the main stream”
Anosike observed that a lot of people who are contesting elections for other positions and urged them to show capacity while on campaigns noting that above all there is one candidate that must be delivered reiterating that President Tinubu is visiting to victory.

“All of us are gathered in solidarity because we are united in one purpose and that is to re-elect our President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for second term in office”
“For the first time this is happening in Anambra state and we commended Mr Governor ; Prof Charles Soludo for making this happen in our state “
“Today we have the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA, the All Progressives Congress( APC), the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP) and the Accord party supporting one Presidential candidate”
This task is a very simple task and a very easy task and together victory is a asuerd ” he said.
