Action, No Empty Words: Ukachukwu Vows to Fix Anambra
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the forthcoming Anambra State gubernatorial election, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, has reiterated his commitment to restoring security and rebuilding citizens’ confidence in good governance once elected on November 8, 2025.
Ukachukwu, fondly known as Ikukuoma, who addressed a cross-section of supporters, electorates, and well-wishers at St. Albert The Great Catholic Parish in Obosi on Sunday, declared that it is time for action, not rhetoric, to salvage the state.
“We have seen where empty promises have landed the state,” he stated .
Ukachukwu noted that his mission is to “fix the severe dilapidation Anambra State has suffered so that things can work again.”
He noted that his vision is fundamentally focused on results and performance not empty rhetoric that ultimately amounts to nothing.
“We shall no longer dwell on empty promises. Our work will speak for us,” he declared.
He expressed gratitude for the warm reception from parishioners and members of the Sustenance of Faith in Good Governance (SOFIG), and extended heartfelt appreciation to the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Augustine Obiosa, whom he described as “a vessel of God’s grace and truth.”
Fr. Obiosa prayed for Ukachukwu’s success, declaring that God would answer his prayers and that he would one day return to the church as Governor to give thanks.
“Anambra must move forward,” he added, urging parishioners to support Ukachukwu’s vision for a new, functional state built on integrity and service.
Ukachukwu pledged to personally contribute to the ongoing church development by roofing the current construction project.
He also vowed to harness the massive natural gas deposit in Omasi, Ayamelum Council Area, for the benefit of all Anambra citizens.
He explained that the resulting energy supply would serve not only the entire state but also Nigeria at large.
“When the state builds the gas plant, it will improve life for every household in Anambra,” he said. “It will also reduce the cost of electricity tariffs.” Ukachukwu stated.
He added that gas would initially be sold at a very low rate to low-income earners, with any remaining supply then made available to wealthier consumers.
Addressing the prolonged tension within market leadership across the state, Ukachukwu insisted that traders themselves must elect their leaders without external interference from the government or any other party.
“My government will only witness the process,” he said.
He further pledged that his leadership would include both natives and non-natives, emphasizing his commitment to inclusive governance in all aspects.
