Mr. Nicholas Ukachukwu has secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the upcoming Anambra State governorship election.
He emerged victorious in the primary held on Saturday, defeating his closest rival, Valentine Ozigbo.
Ukachukwu received 1,455 votes, while Ozigbo garnered 67 votes.
The Anambra governorship election, scheduled for November 2025, will be the next major off-cycle election in Nigeria.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo has already secured the nomination for the state’s ruling party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
After being declared the winner of the APC primary, Ukachukwu promised to deliver the state to the APC. He said, “We shall deliver Anambra to the APC. One thing I want to say here, nobody has won the governorship of Anambra without my support; it has never happened before.”
He continued, “I have been playing godfatherism, but now I want to be the father of the father, no more godfather.”
