The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused the Anambra State Government of feeling threatened by the growing popularity of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, insisting the party will win big in the state.
The party’s Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theo Abu Agada, made the claim on Monday while reacting to a post on X by the handle @AnambraNewMedia, which urged residents to reject Obi and the NDC.
The post described a vote for Obi as a betrayal of the state. “A betrayal alert for Ndi Anambra. Do not be deceived by a man who abandoned his own house,” it read. It urged supporters of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to “defend your home” and “resist the NDC,” alleging that since 2014, Obi has pursued a mission to destroy the party that made him.
Responding, Agada accused the state government of resorting to “cheap blackmail” because it could not challenge Obi on his governance record.
“It is now clear, even to the blind, that the Anambra State Government is threatened by the growing popularity of our presidential candidate, H.E. Peter Obi, and the NDC in Anambra State and beyond,” he wrote.
He added: “I understand this mad obsession. The NDC is going to win big in Anambra, and there is nothing Soludo and his minions in APGA can do about it.”
The exchange reflects the intensifying political contest in Anambra ahead of the 2027 elections, with the NDC and APGA trading barbs over the loyalty of the state’s voters.
