The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 8, 2025, Anambra election, Nicholas Ukachukwu, has faulted the infrastructural priorities of the Governor Chukwuma Soludo administration, describing some recent projects, including the Fun City, as “monumental wastes.”
Ukachukwu made the remarks on Tuesday in Awka during the inauguration of the APC governorship campaign council at the party’s secretariat.
He stressed that what Anambra requires at this critical stage is not “monuments for show” but a secure, industrialised environment capable of driving economic growth and job creation.
He outlined his policy agenda, which includes an agricultural chain revolution, the establishment of a power plant to energise industrial clusters, and stronger measures to secure lives and property in the state.
“In Anambra, it is either you are manufacturing, trading or farming. We will provide the enabling environment for these activities to thrive. Academic certificates or grammar do not build industries—factories, power and security do,” he said.
The APC candidate also criticised the state of healthcare facilities, describing many of the hospitals as “glorified mortuaries.”
On insinuations about his finances, Ukachukwu said: “I am worth billions and cannot owe billions, as some insinuate. People may choose to discuss us because we are worthy of discussion, but we will not be distracted.”
Ukachukwu expressed confidence in his party’s chances, noting that President Bola Tinubu had given a clear directive to ensure Anambra is delivered to the APC.
“We are confident of victory. The President has charged us to win Anambra for APC, and we will rise to that challenge,” he added.
