The All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate in the Anambra governorship election scheduled for November 8, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, has vowed to deliver the state to the party.
He made the vow while addressing State House Correspondents, after the symbolic presentation of the APC flag to him and Sen. Uche Ekwunife, Deputy Gubernatorial Candidate, by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, on Monday.
Ukachukwu said the President “has given us a charge to go and bring Anambra to the centre, and that’s what we’re going to do. Anambra cannot continue to be a one-party system.
”The President was in Anambra recently and saw how ready and how charged the party people are in Anambra. He was happy about the turnout of the people that came out to receive him.”
Ukachukwu said he was confident that the APC would triumph in the gubernatorial election because he and his running mate were the ones that made the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) currently in charge of the state, strong.
According to him: “I was a former senatorial candidate of APGA. I left APGA with all my supporters to join APC. The Labour Party, the YPP and other political parties have joined us in the journey.
“We have over 80 groups that are lining up to join us. This makes APC to be bigger. It means nothing is left of APGA in the state.
“It’s not the first time an incumbent will be losing an election; it happened in Zamfara, in Imo and other places. Even in Anambra too, so it’s not new to us in Anambra,” he said.
