Chekwas Okorie, the national chairman of the defunct United Progressive Party (UPP), has predicted that the All Progressive Congress (APC) will take over Anambra State from the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in 2022.

Mr Okorie whose party was recently deregistered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) stated this in an interview with Sun Newspapers.

He collapsed his party into the APC after being deregistered over failure of the UPP to meet the requirements for continued existence as a political party.

The APGA has been in firm control of the South-East state for over a decade now. Although INEC has not announced the date for the next governorship election in the state, it is expected to hold next year before the expiration of the tenure of Willie Obiano, the incumbent governor winds down in 2022.

Okorie who founded APGA said Anambra State will be his starting point and his movement into the APC will reshape the party’s existence in the geo-political zone where the party is reportedly not doing well.

He said his main aim of delivering the state to the APC is to bargain for an Igbo presidency at the completion of the president’s tenure in 2023.

“…Now with me fully involved and others we are marching into Anambra to deliver the governorship to APC in Anambra in 2021. I will be fully involved in that effort with all my associates and others,” he said.

“And that will be the beginning of sweeping across the entire Igbo land and by 2023 President Buhari must have done his beat well by the grace of God and we shall insist even before then that it will make for the finale healing of the wounds of the war if an Igbo man is given the opportunity to become president in 2023.

“And we have to make that point not by force, not by flexing muscles, but by diplomacy, by showing commitment, by political sagacity, by engagement, by building bridges, etc, all this we will do, not by wishful thinking and we will also impress it on the president that he will be writing his name in gold if he gives efficacy to that aspiration of the Igbo people and it will now bring the type of unity that Nigeria has been clamouring to have.

“The prospects are very bright. If I didn’t see how bright the prospects are I wouldn’t waste my time,” the Abia indigen added.

That's a constant.


Anambra people are fed up with PDP. They can't just swallow their pride and port to another Party.


16years of serving PDP with absolutely nothing to show for it aside the counterfeit suspension bridge Obiano built.

Obiano will keep signing MOU with nothing to show for it.

PDP has nothing to do with anambra and moreover ur states are in total shambles with ghettos and shanties.

Anambra is APGA not PDP!

I wish these people can understand how an average Anambra man hates APC so much

see for you to identify with apc in Anambra means automatic rejection

at the mention of APC all anambra man can see is bokoharam party of bokoharam

A good palm wine can make a man say rubbish and also think he is important.

It's getting more interesting. If a see any Nigeria politician in heaven, I will leave there because definitely that is not the Heaven where my Father resides, that's a China made heaven.

Lets wait and see how it goes

Look at what too much head slamming has caused to your brain.
Soon you will wander aimlessly around the street, dancing to a music only playing in your damaged brain cells.

A PGA has been ruling Anambra for 16 years and not pdp.

If only Aregbesola gave you real education you would have been brilliant but you were just opon Imo specimen

So what example has the APC set to be emulated by any state?

In his dreams for sure. Igboland with Ndi Enugu & Ndi Anambra can never fall into the hands of CPC packaged as APC.


We can forgive the past but never forget.

Count Anambra out of that madness. Enugu is PDP and Anambra is Apga..

So there is nothing wrong if APC wins in Anambra state.

There is a whole lot wrong if CPC wins in Anambra state. And I included Anambra and Enugu because they are wise and educationally informed unlike your kilt and kin who would rather sell their rights for a lot of soup and shortsightedness.

Well Anambra is Apga and on their own political space.....

Enugu is Pdp and on their own political space...both are different in their Ideology.

Well I'm from Anambra state and know the ideology and thinking pattern of the people from that extraction which is no different and it's nothing to do with bi-partisan politics. Both times APC have held power in the Eastern Region were through "democratic coups" like 'defection' and 'court order'. They can never win a free and fair ballot in the East.

Oga Biko your Ideology is useless.

YPP even won in anambra state. If APC brings better candidate I will vote them..

I don't share in that thinking or sentiments pls.

You cannot understand. No point wasting precious data arguing with you

I don't need to understand anything on same state I am from. Any better candidate can go afterall I am not voting an Hausa or Yoruba man buy my fellow Igbo man.

You guys should stop spreading unnecessary sentiments around Biko.

I know there'll always be elements like you that will cast wayward and shortsighted votes but gladly you and people like you are and will always be in the minority. APC can never win free and fair elections in Anambra take it or leave it. If they like they should bring Ojukwu Jr. he can't win.
