The Anambra State chapter of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) has declared its support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the party’s nationwide presidential primaries scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2026.
Addressing journalists at the APC state secretariat in Awka on Friday, the state chairman of the party, Emmanuel Anosike, said the chapter had mobilised its members across the state’s 326 political wards to participate in the direct primary election.
Anosike said members of the party’s State Executive Committee would be deployed to monitor the exercise across the wards to ensure a peaceful and transparent process.
“We are fully prepared to participate in our party’s presidential primaries,” he said. “The state executive committee will mobilise across the wards to supervise and monitor the exercise and ensure that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerges as the party’s flag bearer for the 2027 general elections.”
He said that security arrangements had been concluded to guarantee a smooth conduct of the primaries, which are expected to take place simultaneously across Nigeria’s 8,809 wards.
The APC chairman said the party in Anambra would mobilise support for Tinubu in the state, describing the president’s administration as inclusive.
Anosike also used the briefing to commend the conduct of the party’s recently concluded primaries for legislative positions ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to him, the APC successfully produced three senatorial candidates, 11 House of Representatives candidates and 27 candidates for the Anambra State House of Assembly.
He praised the party’s primary election committee and the APC National Working Committee (NWC) for overseeing what he described as a smooth and orderly process in the state.
Anosike further commended Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma for his continued political and financial support for the APC in Anambra State.
He also disclosed that party members involved in court actions against the APC remained expelled, reaffirming the party leadership’s stance on internal disciplinary matters.
