There are strong indications that the aspiration of the former Governor of Anambra State and Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi
is threatening the aspiration of most National Assembly candidates of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Anambra State. Both are the leading parties in Anambra State.
The presidential election of 2023 will be held on February 25, same day as those of the National Assembly, which comprises the Senate and House of Representatives. There have been worry among some aspirants that the huge support for Obi may cause a bandwagon effect on them, just as National Assembly candidates of the Labour Party in Anambra State have been waxing strong, and exuding victory.
A public affairs analyst, Damian Mba told DAILY POST that: “You know this is politics. The candidates are afraid to offend the electorates, especially in places where they believe that the electorates have total support for Obi. The candidates running for National Assembly seats in the PDP and APGA are however not less personalities. In Anambra Central, the PDP is fielding Senator Uche Ekwunife, an incumbent, and a ranking member of the Senate, while APGA is fielding a youngster, Hon Dozie Nwankwo, an incumbent in the House of Representatives, who recently, surprisingly upstaged a former national chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh.
