Senate President, Deputy Declare Support for Anambra APC Candidate, Ukachukwu

By Praise Chinecherem

The national leadership and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have endorsed Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, party’s governorship flagbearer in the upcoming November 8, 2025 election in Anambra State.

The party chieftains included Senate President, Godswill Akpabio; his deputy -Barau Jibrin and Senators of the party from the South East caucus in the National Assembly.

Ukachukwu, alongside the National Chairman of the APC, His Excellency, Abdullahi Ganduje, was received by the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin and APC senators from the Southeast.

The meeting was to reaffirm the senators’ unwavering commitment towards ensuring that APC takes over Anambra State.

According to the chieftains, the endorsement was in line with President Bola Tinubu’s directive when he presented the APC flag to Ukachukwu and his deputy, Senator Uche Ekwunife last month.

This development gives impetus to the overwhelming support which Prince Ukachukwu, a known name in Nigerian politics, has continued to garner, since his emergence as standard bearer of the APC on April 5, 2025.

Ukachukwu also known as Ikukuoma, has since then engaged in consultations and alliances which present him as a formidable force, with assurance of victory at the November election.

Addressing newsmen after the meeting, Ukachukwu said, “The task ahead is clear, to get Anambra connected to the centre, to ensure it gets its fair share of benefits from the federation.

“The nation under the leadership of President Tinubu is making steady progress, especially with the quality support provided to it by the Senate under the leadership of Senator Akpabio.

“Such collaboration has been the catalyst that is consistently changing the fortunes of the nation for the best.

“Ndi Anambra have seen the light and are willing to take their destiny in their own hands on November 8, by rejecting the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA in the state with their votes.

“Our people are very enlightened and cannot be deceived by the antics of the APGA in Anambra State.

“From the feedback we are getting through a thorough survey we conducted, the people are fed up with the lies and propaganda of the ruling party in the state and are ready to embrace the renewed hope agenda.

“Anambra people are ready to connect to the centre and begin to get their due share of the national benefits.

“Mushroom political parties cannot and will never get us to the centre stage of national politics.

“APC is the game-changer and come November, we will all speak with one voice, for the betterment of Anambra, enthronement of APC in the state and continued leadership of our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Ukachukwu concluded.
