The Ikukuoma Campaign Organization has condemned recent publications by some fifth columnists aimed at launching a vitriolic attack on Prince Nicholas Chukwujekwu Ukachukwu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate in the forthcoming Anambra State gubernatorial election.
In a press release from Chuddy Brass Nwankwo, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Brass Links Media Consult, Awka and made available to media houses, over the weekend, the organization attributed the media attack to panic and desperation in the camp of incumbent Governor Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, whose time, it believes is fast ticking to be voted out by Anambra people (Ndi Anambra) come November 8th, 2025.
The organization expressed disappointment that instead of focusing on reeling out achievements in terms of infrastructural and human capital development delivered to Ndi Anambra, the current government has descended into launching spiral attacks on perceived political opponents, including unwarranted attacks on past Anambra State Governors with landmark achievements.
Highlighting what it describes as Ukachukwu’s impressive academic, business, and political profiles, which according to them pose a great threat to other candidates in the race to governorship in the state, they adds that Ukachukwu’s achievements in both public and private lives make him a formidable candidate.
The organization accused the government of Governor Soludo of attempting to malign Ukachukwu’s campaign by not providing a level playing ground for all candidates to campaign freely and allowing Ndi Anambra to make their choice without harassment and intimidation. The imposition of a N50 million advert rate on all out-of-home advertising activities during the election period was cited as an example of desperation.
The organization therefore reiterated that Ikukuoma is an idea whose time has come, and no amount of campaign of calumny and intimidation can stop it. Prince Dr. Nicholas Ukachukwu’s mission and vision are centered on seeing a prosperous, self-sustaining Anambra where governance is the only tool to serve the people.
