Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the November 8 Anambra governorship election, stated that his party will leverage the upcoming by-elections to demonstrate its control over the state.

Ukachukwu asserted that the APC has effectively taken over Anambra and plans to officially confirm this with the governorship election. He noted that the by-elections for Anambra South Senatorial and Onitsha North 1 State Constituency, which are being held to fill vacancies left by deceased lawmakers, will serve as an opportunity to prove the party’s firm hold on the state.

He made these remarks in Awka while welcoming market union leaders who visited to show their support and endorse his candidacy.

The candidate said, “We will use August 16 by-elections to show sample to Soludo that Anambra is APC state. I come from the same zone, and after the election on 16, we will know who is in charge of Anambra.

“We will show them that a barking dog does not bite. We will use that election to test our strength. I’m a child of destiny, I have come to work for you people and I have come so that Anambra will take its pride of place.

“Next weekend, there will be by-elections for Anambra South Senatorial Zone and Onitsha North 1 State Constituency, we urge you all to come out enmasse and let us make a categorical statement about the November 8 election.”

He continued that: “One thing is obvious, traders are not faring well in Anambra. If Soludo meant well for Anambra people, the first people to take care of are traders because they constitute the highest number of people in Anambra.

“How can I be governor and NAFDAC will come and shut a market in my state for months? It can not work. We need to encourage our traders to do better.

“As a governor, I’ll set up a loan fund where traders can access money to do their businesses. Government can borrow with single digit interest, so what I will do is to use the name of the government to borrow for traders and pay within five years.

“When you are growing, we too as a government, will be growing through revenue and you will be very fit to pay tax. We will collaborate with traders on what should be paid as taxes, not using revenue agents to be pursuing you everywhere.

“We are coming to practicalize governance, we are coming to put round pegs in round holes. Grammar does not govern, it is experience that governs. Once I become governor, my commissioner for trade and commerce must be a trader. I’m a trader and I’m proud of where I am coming from,” he stated.
