Anambra: I ‘ve Tinubu’s backing to unseat Soludo – Ukachukwu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Nicholas Ukachukwu, has declared that he has backing of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to defeat the incumbent governor Charles Soludo in the forthcoming election in Anambra state.

The APC National Working Committee (NWC) ) Wednesday, had considered and approved the report of the party’s Anambra State Governorship Primary Election.

At the primary election, Prince Ukachukwu was declared the winner of the election with 1,455 votes.

While presenting the APC Certificate of Return to him, Dr. Ganduje charged all stakeholders, particularly the other aspirants and their supporters to work for the party’s victory in the November 8, 2025 Anambra state gubernatorial election.

Addressing newsmen shortly after he received the certificate, Ukachukwu said his chances of winning the general election was bright.

When asked about governor Soludo’s comments regarding support from the presidency, the APC candidate said: “There is nothing like that. Our president is a party man to the core. He can not fall, and he will not fall. And he has not decided to, and he will never.

“How can a president who always support his party win, go, and say he will support you? Why go to beg when he can support you?

“If APGA is sellable without the center, why are they begging the centre? Why is he relying on the president for presidential support? What is popular to win if he is popular?

” Soludo has not presented himself for election. This is the first time he is contesting for an election. Obieano, during the power of imcumbency, joined us together, and then we all supported Soludo to win. That was how he won. This is the first time he is presenting himself to Anambra to vote for him as a person. And now, we want to know whether he is popular or not. Don’t forget Mbadiniju did one term. What stops Soludo from doing one term?”

On those who left the APC as a result of the process that produced him, Ukachukwu said:”Even the person that is holding the PDP ticket in Anambra was former APGA. So if somebody has left APC, somebody has also left APGA, too. It is not something that is new.”
