In a region firmly tied to its political roots, APC’s Nicholas Ukachukwu has declared his mission: to break Anambra’s one-party tradition. At the Presidential Villa, he accepted his party’s flag with confidence and President Tinubu’s blessing. What lies ahead is not just a local contest, but a test of political realignment in the Southeast.
Ukachukwu’s entry into the 2025 race signals APC’s renewed push into Anambra, with ambitions to alter the South-East’s political alignment and bring the state closer to federal influence.
- Nicholas Ukachukwu has been endorsed by President Tinubu as the APC's candidate for Anambra 2025.
- He claims growing support from other parties and civil society groups in the state.
- Ukachukwu emerged victorious in April's APC primary with a large margin.
- Controversy surrounds the primary, with top rivals stepping down citing irregularities.
- Ukachukwu aims to shift Anambra into the national political 'centre' with APC leadership.
As November approaches, eyes are on whether Prince Ukachukwu can convert confidence into votes and whether Anambra is ready for a political shift.
