The Chairman of Anambra State Governorship Election Planning and Strategy Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Jim Nwobodo, has congratulated the winner of the governorship primary, Dr. Tony Nwoye, describing his emergence as victory for the party.

Nwobodo said: “I watched with keen interest the live transmission of the 2017 All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Primary for Anambra State, where Dr. Tony Nwoye was declared as the winner with a total of 2,146 votes.

“I congratulate Dr. Nwoye for the overwhelming mandate. This is a victory for the APC and all the aspirants for the peaceful manner they conducted themselves at the primary.

“I wish to use this opportunity to remind all the aspirants of their commitment to support whoever emerges as the party’s flag bearer. And appeal to you to join Dr. Nwoye and form a formidable campaign team that would secure victory for our party, the APC, in the forthcoming November, 2017, governorship election.

“I also congratulate the Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, and his Committee for conducting a free, credible and rancour-free primary in the state, making it the first time any political party would conduct such a transparent and rancour free primary in the state.”
