Soludo threw a jab at one of his predecessors, Peter Obi, who backed ADC candidates in the by-elections, saying the ADC does not exist in the state.
Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra has declared Labour Party and the African Democratic Congress ADC d3ad in the state.
This followed last Saturday’s Bye-election in Anambra state where the All Progressive Grand Alliance won.
The governor stated this on Sunday, August 17, during an event in the Nanka area of the state to celebrate the victory of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Saturday’s by-elections.
Soludo threw a jab at one of his predecessors, Peter Obi, who backed ADC candidates in the by-elections, saying the ADC does not exist in the state.
“ADC does not exist in Anambra. We showed it on Saturday. Labour Party is de@d,” Soludo said to the cheers of his partymen, who were adorned with different APGA paraphernalia emblazoned with the symbolic cock logo of the party.
The governor said the ADC opposition coalition wanted to use the by-election in Anambra to test its popularity, but “the people spoke overwhelmingly with over 75%. APGA is our movement”.
Obi, a member of the Labour Party, has identified with the ADC coalition seeking to remove President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election. The Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate is seeking to become president in 2027, but Soludo has opposed the former’s single-term bid.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday conducted a bye-election for Anambra South Senatorial District which was previously occupied by late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah who passed away in July 2024.
The electoral body declared APGA’s Emmanuel Nwachukwu the winner after he polled a total of 90,408 votes to defeat APC’s Azuka Okwuosa who polled 19,847 votes and ADC’s Donald Amangbo, who got 2,889 votes.
