Ekene Enefe, All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Anambra has said its chances of winning the November 6 governorship election is bright.
In encouragements, he said the party and the aspirants have to relate and work with the communities more and ensure the grassroots become part of their train.
To advise, He said though the goodwill President Muhammadu Buhari enjoys in the South East was a huge advantage aspirant must not be carried away and rely on Abuja or federal might alone for victory.
Ekene Enefe said the aspirants should be united and queue behind whosoever emerges from the primary while urging the party to conduct a primary election that would reflect the wishes of the majority of the people.
“This is the time for APC to take over the mantle of government in Anambra but we are not doing enough. I expect the party to develop a robust grassroots-based campaign, we should not rely on any power or connection anywhere.”
Enefe backed the call for the president of Igbo extraction and called on the people to take articulate steps, including reaching out to other regions towards achieving objectives.
The chieftain said Igbo people within Nigeria, including those outside the southeast, should be considered to ensure the best is presented to the country.
He said youth should be given a chance as records have shown that the best performing ministers in the present Federal Government were youths.

“When we talk about the presidency of Igbo extraction, it’s not just about southeast because we have the Igbo in many states outside the zone, so we have to look inward and support our own wherever they are.
“The southeast should begin to works towards the next presidential election, again, we need a youth and some of the best ministers in this administration are youths,” he said.
