Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, the All Progressives Congress. APC, candidate for the November 8 governorship election in Anambra, has begun touring the state’s 21 local government districts.
Insisting that there are advantages to supporting the center-right APC party, Ukachukwu began the journey on Tuesday by visiting the communities of Omor and Anaku in Ayamelum LGA. He claimed that because Anambra is not an APC state, it has been unable to draw in a number of grants that are going to other states.
Ukachukwu told APC members in Omor and Anaku, Ayamelum LGA, that while farmers in APC-controlled states have been receiving fertilizer and agriculture grants, Anambra has not been able to enjoy these benefits due to its lack of connection to the center.
“We are here to confer with you and to tell you we are ready for the contest. We want to form a formidable team of those who will work with us. We don’t want people who will be hanging around Awka, but when you come to their area, they do not have followers.
“You must be sure you follow people who have integrity, people who will make promises and abide by them. There is a lot to be gotten from the federal government.
“There are loans that people in states connected to the centre are enjoying and that is where we want to empower people from. Let us join APC, let us connect Anambra to the centre and you will be shocked the level of prosperity that you will witness.
“We want a state where we will look forward to finances from the state and from the federal government, there is a lot to be done and just one source of income can not guarantee that we can meet the things we have at hand to do for our people.”
Anambra is now prepared for an APC governor, according to earlier assurances from the party’s deputy governorship candidate, Senator Uche Ekwunife, and state chairman, Mr. Basil Ejidike, who insisted that Ukachukwu is the best person to guide the party to the center.
Ejidike added that, “Our state Anambra, has been in the dark for too long. In Abuja, APC governors meet to fine-tune strategies about how to benefit from the federal government, while PDP governors also meet, but our state will be no where to be found because we are not in the equation. We will not continue like this,” he said.
