Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 8 election in Anambra State, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, has urged the Anambra electorate, especially those from his Anambra South senatorial zone, to stay focused in their pursuit of the state’s governorship seat.
Leading the APC campaign train to Ebenator, Amichi, and Utuh — all in Nnewi South Council area — in the Anambra South senatorial zone, during a last-minute sweeping mop-up campaign late Thursday, he disclosed that “the political gimmick of giving Nnewi South senate was the usual stock-in-trade to distract us from focussing on the main target, which is the governor seat.”
He said, “We are now a lot wiser. They can no longer deceive, distract or manipulate us anymore.
“We are committed to taking over the governorship mandate for Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu on Nov 8, 2025, and Chief Azuka Okwuosa for the Anambra South senatorial seat on Aug 16, 2025, so that we will be connected to the national political grid for effective development of the whole state. That’s when we will be in a position to change and transform Anambra, right down to the grassroots, as is the case in other states of the federation, especially those governed by the APC.
“We therefore need to join the progressives who have been transforming their states and the living standards of their citizens.”
Ukachukwu told them to ignore the late-hour shuttle diplomacy and political stunt of Governor Chukwuma Soludo as “a childish gimmick”.
He wondered why the governor frittered away a whole four years busying himself with over-taxing citizens and other draconian policies that were “benefiting his pockets only.” He said that now that the election is here, “he started clutching on cobwebs and strands of hair as achievements and excuses.”
The APC flagbearer, therefore, appealed to voters and all the electorate in Anambra State to disregard Soludo and his deceptive promises, and to support him and the APC for the massive transformation that comes with belonging to the ruling party.
