From Ifeoma Ejiofor
The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 8 election, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu said he would fix Anambra State if he emerged victorious uat the polls.
Prince Ukachukwu popularly called Ikukuoma made this assertion during a post thank you tour press briefing in Awka.
He pointed out that his tour of the twenty one council areas has availed him to see first hand the collosal failure of the incumbent APGA administration led by Prof Charles Soludo.
Ikukuoma revealed that his entrance into the governance is a child of circumstances occasioned by the untimely death of Sen Ifeanyi Ubah who he already promised to support all the way.
He recalled that Anambra State has always been a shining light which attracted all and sundry from far and near to her light but added quickly that the light is completely quenched under the watch of the incumbent administration.
“Anambra has become a shadow of herself, there used to be uninterrupted water supply as well as electricity supply across the State, this has systematically removed from the reach of the people
“Unfortunately, this evil befell the state through the administrations of persons who have no stakes in Anambra, they don’t have any business in the state, they just come in as governors and take everything they could from the state and leave the people impoverished.
“Sen Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah was the only person who had a complete welfare package for Ndi-Anambra and his approach to governance and our model are similar. We will ensure that the dream of the belated Senator is accomplished by our administration.
“The level of reception and support so far accorded me during our thank you tour which is a manifestation of the failure of the government of the day always kindle the fire of commitment and passion to give a five star governance.
“The government of Prof Charles Soludo has been intimidating the Royal Fathers and President Generals for identifying with the Wind of Glory,” he noted.
The APC standard bearer recalled with nostalgia that Anambra has always been a trading and manufacturing hub which the incumbent administration has stuffed life out.
Ikukuoma said further that instead of concentrating on projects that will empower the people of the State, the government of the day is celebrating inanities which cannot add value to Ndi-Anambra.
He said that under his watch, there won’t be room for criminal organizations like ‘Aka Odo’ and Agunechemba which Gov Soludo has turned to militia groups to intimidate the people.
Asked on if he is worried about the incumbent governor using the militia groups to coerce people during election, Ikukuoma said that he is not bothered at all about that since all unconventional security groups will not have role to play during the guber polls.
Ikukuoma assured Ndi-Anambra that he would be meeting the press on monthly or bimonthly as well as setting up platforms to have unfettered interactions with the people.
