The chairman of the APC in the state, Mr Emeka Ibe, announced this in a meeting of stakeholders of the party held in Awka, the state capital.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, will chair a 50-man campaign team of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Anambra State, Dr. Tony Nwoye.

He said the team was carefully selected to achieve optimal result, adding that it was made up of tested hands.

Ibe said the party had after the primary moved to ensure reconciliation so that the party would go into the November 18 poll as a united front.

 “We constituted the reconciliation committee, which is headed by the deputy governorship candidate of our party, Mr. Dozie Ikedife Jnr., and the members have been meeting stakeholders to ensure unity; and soon, they will present their report to the house.

“So far, we have got most of the aspirants of the party who lost to Nwoye to drop their grievances, and they have accepted to work with us, and we are sure that if we approach this election as one house, we will win the election,” he said.

The meeting was attended by most aspirants of the party who had lost to Nwoye, and they took time to pledge their support for the party and for Nwoye.

Other members of the Ngige campaign team are George Mogahalu, Johnbosco Onukwu, Bath Nwibe and Paul Chukwuma.

All of them were contestants of the governorship ticket of the party in the primary.

While addressing members of the party, Nwoye regretted that the party had lost four weeks of campaign to internal wrangling after the primary.

He said he was sure the party would make up the lost time and win the election.
