APC Inaugurates Campaign Council in Anambra, Ukachukwu and Ekwunife Promise Agricultural Revolution

The atmosphere was charged on Tuesday afternoon at the APC State Secretariat, Awka, as party faithful thronged the venue for the formal inauguration of the Anambra Governorship Campaign Council ahead of the November 8, 2025 election.

Excitement and chants of solidarity rent the air as the party’s governorship candidate, Hon. Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, mounted the podium with his running mate, Senator Uche Ekwunife, flanked by APC leaders and supporters.

Ukachukwu, popularly called Ikukuoma, did not mince words in outlining his vision for Anambra. He promised to build an agricultural value chain that will create jobs, drive industrial growth, and reposition the state as an economic hub in the South East.

“I am a billionaire. I cannot owe billions. Those throwing stones at me have no achievements to campaign with. That is why they resort to name-calling. Look at Anambra today; ranked 33rd in the economic index. Is that the great Anambra we all dream of? Certainly not,” Ukachukwu told the cheering crowd.

He added that his mission is to ensure that Ndi Anambra get nothing short of the best in governance. “The wind of glory is about to envelop Anambra. I charge every member of this campaign council to go out, be proactive, and carry this message to every community.”

In her remarks, the deputy governorship candidate, Senator Uche Ekwunife, emphasized that the APC team was coming with a fresh agenda — one focused on empowering the people and unlocking access to opportunities at the federal level.

“What we are bringing is empowerment. What we are bringing is linkage to the center where Ndi Anambra will benefit more. This is not about insults or name-calling. Politics is about solutions, and APC is committed to rescuing Anambra,” she declared, drawing loud applause.

The State Chairman of APC, Chief Basil Ejidike, praised the resilience of party members and urged the campaign council to sustain the momentum. “Ndi Anambra are ready for change. Our duty is to ensure that the message gets to every home, every ward, every street. The time to change the narrative is now,” he charged.

The event also witnessed the unveiling of a 21-member planning committee, led by Sir Arinze Awogu as chairman, with notable figures such as Engr. Chidi Oji, Barr. Kingsley Ezekwelu, Sam Oraegbunam, Hon. Tim Ifediora, and Dr. Obi Ndigwe among others.

As drums rolled and party flags fluttered, the message was clear: APC is determined to mount a formidable challenge in the November polls, with Ukachukwu and Ekwunife promising a new deal for Ndi Anambra.
