The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday postponed indefinitely the inauguration of its national campaign council for the November 2025 Anambra State governorship election.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed November 6, 2025, for the off-cycle governorship poll in Anambra, which is currently under the control of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) with Prof. Charles Soludo as governor.

Daily Trust reports that the APC had slated the inauguration of its campaign council for Thursday at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja. However, the exercise was put on hold as the party intensifies strategies to wrest control of the state from APGA.

In a statement, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Barrister Felix Morka, announced the postponement, noting that a new date would be communicated later.

“The All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to inform its members, stakeholders, and the general public that the inauguration of the national campaign council for the 2025 Anambra State governorship election, scheduled to be held today, Thursday, 11th September, 2025, at the party’s national secretariat, Abuja, has been postponed.

“A new date for the inauguration will be announced in due course. The party deeply regrets any inconvenience this change may cause and assures all stakeholders of its unwavering commitment to ensuring a successful outing in the November 8, 2025, Anambra State governorship election,” the statement reads.

The party, however, did not explain the reason for the postponement.

But credible sources within the APC told Daily Trust that the decision was taken to allow the party to resolve lingering issues in the Anambra State chapter and adjust the campaign council list to accommodate more stalwarts.
