2027: NDC Appoints Ex-Soludo’s Ally to Lead Peter Obi’s Campaign in Anambra

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has appointed a former close ally of Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, to lead the party's campaign in the state. Hon. Ifeanyi Ibezi, who previously served as a House of Representatives member and was part of Soludo’s All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), joined the NDC following a rally where he departed from the party.

This move is considered strategic, as it aims to leverage Ibezi’s popularity to garner votes for the NDC and counter the growing dissatisfaction with the NDC’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, from Soludo.

Ibezi has already taken swift action, issuing a call to action for supporters to rally behind Peter Obi and secure a decisive victory in Anambra. In a press release, Ibezi emphasized that while winning Anambra is just the beginning, the real challenge lies in ensuring that Anambra delivers a strong mandate for Obi and other NDC candidates.

He highlighted the need to engage with various segments of the population, including undecided voters, those who feel neglected, and those disillusioned with the prevailing political system. The NDC leader underscored the importance of reaching out to these groups, earning their trust, and reminding them of the significance of their participation in the electoral process.

According to Ibezi, the campaign strategy involves mobilizing the electorate across all 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs), 326 wards, and 5,720 polling units in Anambra State. He stressed that every valid vote must count and that the democratic process should reflect the genuine will of the people. The NDC is committed to reaching out to these communities through various platforms such as markets, churches, and household visits, aiming to create an atmosphere of unity and conviction in supporting Obi and the NDC ticket.
