The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has unveiled its final list of chairmanship aspirants cleared for its primaries ahead of the local government elections in Anambra State—but the outcome is already stirring whispers of doubt.
Released Sunday at the party’s state secretariat in Awka, the list confirms candidates approved to contest across all 21 local government areas. In a statement signed by Ejimofor Opara, the party said the aspirants were screened and cleared in line with its internal guidelines.
What is raising political eyebrows, however, is the sweeping clearance: not a single aspirant was reportedly disqualified. Critics say such a clean sweep is unusual for a process typically marked by at least some screening casualties.
Names on the list include Kingsley Ezeagu (Aguata), Ifeanyi Chinweze (Anambra East), Tony Obierika (Anambra West), Paulinus Okafor (Anaocha), ThankGod Anago (Awka North), and Chinedu Okafor (Awka South), alongside others from the remaining councils.
Despite the murmurs, APGA insists its primaries will be transparent and credible, urging members to stay united and disciplined as campaigns heat up ahead of the August 29 polls. Still, with tensions quietly building, political watchers say the real drama may only just be starting.
