An Anambra State governorship candidate under the All Progressives Congress, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu has stated that God gave him the divine ticket to become Anambra governor.
In the election that is to hold on November 8, 2025, Ukachukwu declared that he would restore the lost glory of the state if he wins, by tackling insecurity, revitalising the economy, revamping agriculture and accelerating community development.
According to him, Anambra is not working at the moment, and urgently needs a transformative leadership focused on security, infrastructure, economy, agriculture and inclusive growth.
The candidate declared this while speaking to journalists and other party stakeholders in Awka, on Friday night.
He said, “I believe in God’s divine arrangements. If it is God’s will that I become the governor, no force on earth can stop it. I believe God can make you what He wants to make you, but you must make an effort. For me, I have come out to run, God has given me a ticket to do so. It is now left for you to escalate it to Ndi Anambra if you have the passion for me to be governor.
“Anambra has lost its glory. If elected governor, I will restore the glory that Anambra was once known for. I will attract our youths back home through industrial development and sustainable job creation.
“If God says I will be governor, even if you do not work with me, I will still be governor. In this journey, if you do not lose anything, you won’t gain anything. I am calling you today to work with me to salvage Anambra.
“Anambra is not working and that is not a political statement. That is why we are losing our young ones to other regions, our young ones, after studying cannot get a job in Anambra, because the enablers are not there.
“Anambra is not giving our children the hope they are looking for. Let us do what will make Anambra move forward. I have no apology, I am a village man, I go to my village. We must fix security, agriculture, healthcare, economy, and human capital development, doing this is not rocket science, it is about applying the right methodology.
“When we put someone who has not seen money before to be governor, when they become governor, they first steal money. My key areas of priority include reliable electricity, agricultural, human capital development, transformation and infrastructure renewal
“Electricity is central to any meaningful economic transformation. We will tap into our gas reserves to generate power, but with a people-first approach. The energy infrastructure will be owned by the people, not by government monopolies. We want the people to take ownership, economically and psychologically.
“I promised not to disappoint the people of Anambra State if entrusted with the mandate, I will restore the dignity of the state as the ‘Light of the Nation’.
“I have invested heavily in Anambra because I believe in this state. I plan to retire in my village. My commitment is personal. Investors are staying away because things are not working, but when we fix the system, companies will come, and our youths will be employed again.”
In his address earlier, the Director, Media and Publicity of the Ukachukwu Campaign team, Chido Obidiegwu, said Ukachukwu is a man with the highest youth cult followership in Anambra State.
He said; “Essentially, what we are about to do is to inaugurate the media team. We have a responsibility and our obvious task is to dislodge the incumbent. It is simple because we have a combination of Ukachukwu and his running mate, Senator Uche Ekwunife, this combo is very formidable. We need to be very intentional to convince the people.
“The second reason is that we have an incumbent governor who is overrated, and we have a lot of rhetoric, promises that have failed. We have a responsibility to tell the people that this incumbent doesn’t deserve a second term
“We will begin to interrogate the process and tell Ndi Anambra how we intend to do it differently. From now on, we have to come together and work together to deliver Ukachukwu and Ekwunife on November 8.”
