While congratulating the new executives, Senator Ekwunife paid glowing tribute to the outgoing State Chairman, Hon. Basil Ejidike, commending his resilience, dedication, and exceptional capacity in sustaining and nurturing the APC structure in Anambra State through challenging periods.

She noted that the orderly and transparent process reflects the APC’s commitment to internal democracy and institutional growth.

“This is a defining moment for our party,” Senator Ekwunife stated. “The expectations of our people are high.
