The Anambra State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the fast-approaching November 8 election, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu (Ikukuoma), has vowed to take the state and its citizens to the long-awaited promised land.
Addressing journalists at an enlarged interactive session at the weekend in Awka, Ukachukwu disclosed that his main desire was to lift the state from what he described as the present atmosphere of uncertainty and despair to a sure-footed, secure, peaceful, and prosperous environment.
He noted with sadness that, despite all the high hopes and great expectations, what the people had lived with in the last four years was a brutish life of barefaced insecurity, leadership/governmental insincerity, disappointment, and failure.

He expressed regret that multiple layers of armed brigands under various guises, christened ASTA, Aka-odo, tax masters, etc., have continued to plague the people’s sanity and peace in Anambra.
The APC flagbearer promised to save the situation, save the people, and restore the lost glory of the state by tackling insecurity, revitalising all sectors of the economy, and accelerating the development of all communities, especially along the lines of their comparative advantages.
Ukachukwu, popularly called Ikukuoma (Wind of Glory), pointed out that currently, Anambra is not working; hence, it urgently needs a transformative leadership with an agenda premised on an all-inclusive security network, infrastructural development, and general/massive sectoral economic growth.
Anchoring his hopes on the belief that no society makes any progress in the face of insecurity, Ukachukwu declared, “When elected, I will restore security and the confidence that Anambra was once known for within the first ninety days.
“I will attract our youths back home through industrial development and sustainable job creation, and provision. I will fight criminalities, social vices, restiveness, and insecurity with job provision.”
“As insecurity has become the greatest threat to our state’s development and progress, such that our people are no longer returning home, and investors are scared to do business here, companies are not springing up because of fear, and fear kills enterprise, we are coming very prepared,” Ukachukwu stated.
He further outlined his key priorities, including reliable electricity, agricultural transformation, and infrastructure renewal.
