He also informed them that the National Chairman of the party, AGanduje is expected to visit the state by January, 2024 to meet with all party supporters including aggrieved members as part of preparation for the gubernatorial election.
While commending Chukuma for the kind gesture, the organising secretary, who also represented the National Chairman at the event, called on the party faithful to make unity of purpose their watchword, noting that togetherness remain the only reason the party will succeed in taking over power from the state ruling-All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) government led by Chukwuma Soludo.
In his brief address, the state chairman of the party, Chief Basil Ejidike, appealed to other wealthy members of APC in the state to emulate Chukuma, saying, such gesture has never been done in the state.
He noted that the gesture will strengthen peace and unity among members in Anambra and beyond.
The benefactor, Chukwuma, in his speech, said apart from the Christmas palliative, he will also mount APC signed-post in all the 21 Local Government Area of the state to project the activities of the party ahead of the governorship election.
He said he is offering the services as part of his contribution to promote the party and to ensure that Anambra is fully connected to the centre through the APC channel, been the most popular political party in Africa.
