Anambra 2025: APC Calls For Change, Cites Security, Social Welfare Concerns

Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu has highlighted the urgent need for a brand-new leadership direction in Anambra State to ensure immediate tackling of the mounting security and social welfare challenges facing the citizens.

Prince Ukachukwu, who is the November 8, 2025, governorship flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated this during an interview with our correspondence in Awka at the weekend.

The governorship candidate emphasized the numerous state’s pressing challenges and noted that only an immediate change in leadership vide the opportunity presented by the coming governorship poll would solve it.

He lamented that Anambra State was lagging behind in key areas and sectors including, security of lives/property, medicare, and basic infrastructure.

He lamented what he saw as the alarming security situation bedeviling the state, noting that numerous lives have been lost due to insecurity across various communities in the state.

Ukachukwu stressed the urgent need for action to ensure safety of the citizens.

He also stated that inadequate basic hospital equipment forces residents to seek treatment in far and distant places.

“Such often result in avoidable loss of lives,” Ukachukwu stressed.

He noted that the citizens now have a wonderful opportunity to give change a chance in the upcoming election, asserting that the sate needs a new direction.

According to him, “Anambra needs a new lease of life for the betterment of the society at large”.

The APC helmsman pointed out that security and health care remain the bedrock of any society, hence, that is going to be the main plank of his administration’s stage one, stage two and stage three focus.

Also recently, Ukachukwu took a swipe at the state governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, over insecurity matters.

He expressed surprised over the efforts the Governor Soludo administration to replace a lawmaker from the state, who was killed by unknown assailants amidst heavy insecurity in the state.

He thought it is callous on the part of the government to field a candidate for the ruling party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Ukachukwu emphasised that if the APGA government had protected its own citizens, there would not be any need for any bye-election.
