With the commencement of campaigning ahead of the November 8, 2025, governorship election in Anambra, the National Coordinator, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, has stated that Governor Charles Soludo is contesting the election unopposed since his major challenger, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, according to him, is no match for Soludo on issues of governance.
Obigwe, in a statement in Awka on Thursday, said any vote for Ukachukwu is “tantamount to voting for an empty vessel that has nothing to offer.”
“He knows nothing about governance. When Ukachukwu was in the House of Representatives between 1999 and 2003, he was more of a deaf and dumb legislator, and that was the major reason he has not been able to win any election in Anambra from 2003 till date. He is a regular customer in the business of election contest in Anambra but has never won any because Anambra electorates know about his woeful performance as a legislator in the FCT.”
“Ukachukwu is not a match for Governor Soludo on issues of governance, and Nigerians can attest to that. Even one APC governor stated without fear of contradiction that they are learning about good governance from Governor Soludo. When Prof. Soludo was not yet elected Anambra Governor, APC governors invited him to lecture them on how to govern their states. Now that Anambra people gave him their mandate to govern them, they will not allow an empty vessel that has nothing to offer them to cut short the good work he is doing in our state,” he said.
Obigwe said no governor since the creation of Anambra State can boast of doing what Governor Soludo has done in Anambra State.
“In fact, he is contesting the November 8th governorship election unopposed; the so-called Ukachukwu that is moving around Anambra State in the guise of contesting the election against him is a joker,” Obigwe stated.
