The All Progressives Grand Alliance has insisted that the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the November 8, 2025 Anambra State governorship poll, Nicholas Ukachukwu, lacks the “electoral value” required for victory in any election in the state.
The party was reacting to comments made by Ukachukwu during an APC rally for the state Assembly by-election coming up on August 16, 2025.
During the rally, Ukachukwu said, “We will use the by-election to show that APC owns Anambra,” a comment that has sparked reactions across the state.
However, while reacting in a press statement released on Sunday, the National Coordinator, APGA Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, asked the APC candidate to stop dwelling in self-deceit.
Obigwe said Ukachukwu should stop making empty boasts “because he knows full well that APC is not in existence in Anambra.”
The statement read in part, “In our reaction to the comments made by the APC candidate, I will state without mincing words that Ukachukwu is dwelling in self-deceit.
“He knows very well that APC is not in existence in Anambra and that he does not have the required electoral value to give APC victory in any election in Anambra.”
The statement added, “He also specialises in making empty boasts just as he did in the above-referred news report.
“This is a man who has never won any election in Anambra State since he started contesting elections in the state.
“Ukachukwu was APGA Senatorial candidate for Anambra South in the last 2023 general election, and he lost the election woefully to the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah of blessed memory.”
He insisted that “Anambra is APGA land and the people of the state will continue voting for APGA candidates in any election because they have justified the confidence reposed in the party.”
