Ogbaru Local Government Area became the epicenter of political activity as All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, visited Atani for a thank-you tour and the formal inauguration of his Ward Campaign Council.
A large and enthusiastic crowd comprising party faithful, youth and women groups, and political stakeholders welcomed Ukachukwu, signaling growing support for his bid in the November 8, 2025, Anambra gubernatorial election.
Reiterating his commitment to transforming Anambra, Ukachukwu vowed to end years of neglect, promising better infrastructure, healthcare, education, and economic opportunities.
“We have come to reset Anambra,” he declared. “From roads and hospitals to youth empowerment and business support, it’s time we brought federal presence back to this State.”
He pledged urgent attention to the long abandoned Ogwuikpele Road and promised new access routes within Ogbaru. He also urged eligible voters to participate in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR), stressing that civic engagement is essential to achieving real change.
Joining him was his running mate, Senator Iyom Uche Ekwunife, who described Ukachukwu as “a God-sent leader” with a proven record. “We’re not here for a few,” she said. “We’re here for everyone women, youth, business owners we will listen, act, and deliver.”
APC State Chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike, called on members to seize what he termed “a golden opportunity” to change the course of Anambra politics. “Let’s choose progress over politics,” he urged.
The event also drew strong endorsements from leaders. Hon. Arinzechukwu Awogu, former Ogbaru Transition Committee Chairman and National Coordinator of the Ikemba Front, pledged total grassroots support: “No other party exists in Ogbaru. We are APC, and we will speak with one voice.”
Ogbaru’s Acting APC Chairman, Hon. Emmanuel Ejidike, echoed the sentiment: “Ogbaru will deliver 100 percent for APC.”
Women leader Calister Nwanchukwu, fondly known as Adadiorama, hailed the ticket as a blessing to the region. “This is a team of progress and impact,” she said.
Chief Afam Odogwu added: “Prince Ukachukwu isn’t about rhetoric—he’s about results.”
Backing also came from Hon. Nonso Nwaebili, son of former Anambra Speaker Chinwe Nwaebili, who declared full support from Ogbaru youths. “This is our moment,” he said. “And the results will show it.”
With growing support from both APC leadership and grassroots stakeholders, the Ukachukwu-Ekwunife ticket is rapidly gaining momentum, with Ogbaru emerging as a key battleground in the race for Government House, Awka.
