The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Ganduje has explained  why  Anambra State  is denied of infrastructural development  and other goveemental benefits.

Speaking during a colloquium organised by the southeast chapter of APC, Ganduje assert that Anambra State is practising selfish politics and is being denied infrastructure and other benefits from the federal government.

According to the former Governor of Kano state, it is a political dislocation for Anambra State to remain in the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, instead of connecting to the centre adding that, the marginalisation of the South East is rather a result of miscalculations by the people of the region.

He went ahead to add that as a result of such miscalculations, Anambra State has been kept in political dislocation and would continue until the state dump APGA and join APC, which would give them access to negotiate what they want.

In his words: “We are here for the South East colloquium, but I prefer to speak about Anambra, where we are. Igbo are part of the ingredients of national integration. They are the most travelled and most enterprising people in Nigeria. They are creative, innovative, and competitive, and this is the basis of the Nigerian economy today.

“Anambra is not making the progress needed. Anambra has had Peter Obi, Obiano and now Soludo, all from APGA, as its governors, and that is 25 years of political dislocation for this state.

“They need to join the ruling political party and they will be happy and better for it. Why should Anambra continue to live in isolation? If there had been superlative performances on that isolated platform, it would have been a different thing. This is a vivid case of selfish politics.

“Other states have joined APC, but Anambra’s refusal to connect to the centre has denied her people the infrastructure and other benefits. You have to be at the table to negotiate what comes to you and if you are not at the table, no one will speak for you. Anambra is the only place where APGA is in government and the party has refused to grow,” he added.
