The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming Anambra State governorship election, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, has urged Anambra electorates, especially those from his Anambra South senatorial zone, to remain focused in their quest for the governorship seat of the state.
Prince Ukachukwu made the urge on Thursday, July 14, 2025, while leading the APC campaign train to Ebenator, Amichi and Utuh, all in Nnewi South Council area, in Anambra South senatorial zone.
The mission was a last-minute sweeping mop up campaign in favour of the APC senatorial candidate, Chief Azuka Okwuosa.
Ukachukwu stated that “the political gimmick of giving Nnewi South senate was the usual stock-in-trade to distract us from focusing on the main target, which is the governor’s seat”.
He stated further: “We are now a lot wiser. They can no longer deceive, distract or manipulate us anymore.
“We are committed to take over the governorship mandate for Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu on November 8, 2025, and Chief Azuka Okwuosa for the Anambra South senatorial seat on August 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 down to the grassroots as it is in other states of the federation, especially those being governed by APC.
“We, therefore, need to join the progressives who have been transforming their states and living standard of their citizens.
Ukachukwu told them to ignore the late hour shuttle diplomacy and political stunt of Governor Charles 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 benefitting his pockets only.
“Suddenly election morning is here, and he started clutching on cobwebs and strands of hair as achievements and excuses,” he remarked.
The APC flagbearer, thereby, appealed to voters and all electorate in Anambra State to ignore Governor Soludo and his deceptive promises.
He urged them to embrace him and APC for the massive transformation that comes with belonging to the ruling party.
