The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has taken a swipe at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), declaring that no politician wants to contest the upcoming Anambra governorship election under the party’s platform.

He claimed that the party’s internal crises and dwindling influence have discouraged aspirants from seeking its ticket.
According to Naija247news, Ganduje made these remarks while addressing party members and stakeholders, emphasizing that the APC is positioning itself as the preferred alternative for governance in Anambra State. He asserted that the PDP’s instability has left it with little to offer prospective candidates, making the party unattractive for serious contenders.
Naija247news understands that the PDP has been grappling with internal conflicts, defections, and leadership tussles, all of which have weakened its structure in Anambra and across the country. Some analysts argue that the party’s challenges could affect its chances in the state’s gubernatorial election, where competition is expected to be fierce.
Naija247news reports that while the APC and the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) are already making strategic moves ahead of the election, the PDP is yet to present a clear direction or leading aspirants for the race. This has fueled speculation that the party may struggle to mount a strong challenge against its opponents.
Despite Ganduje’s criticisms, PDP loyalists have dismissed his claims, insisting that the party remains a formidable force in Anambra politics. A party chieftain, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Naija247news that the PDP is working behind the scenes to resolve its internal issues and will present a credible candidate capable of winning the election.
Naija247news gathered that political observers believe Anambra’s 2025 gubernatorial election will be a battle of wits between APGA, APC, and PDP, with each party working to secure the electorate’s trust. However, with the PDP’s current struggles, the party faces a tough road ahead in its bid to reclaim power in the state.
As the political landscape in Anambra continues to evolve, many await the PDP’s next move to counter Ganduje’s claims and prove that it remains a viable contender in the forthcoming election.
