By Emmanuel Uwadineke:
Indeed this alert note has become significant because any mistake that is made now would certainly be costly to the good people of Anambra as all efforts now should be on how to vote out the current non-performing governor. We have seen our candidates, very good gentlemen in their own various rights, but beyond that, we are talking about the exalted office of the chief executive of the state, the highest office in Anambra State.
Let Anambrarians take a moment of very deep reflection and ask themselves what they actually want as a state and who among the seven aspirants can do the job, so as to make the right choice and the time is right now. Posterity will ask us where we were when it all happened.
We have interacted with the aspirants, exchanged pleasantries, entertained ourselves, we have fraternized, some even illusionary, some having no tangible or reason why they should be governor, some have ideas but no clear cut implementation strategies, but, so it is now time to be intentional about our choices and whatever we are doing. Anambrarians in APC have all interacted with the seven aspirants and now know that this is a collective mission to sweep the cock or chicken or hen out of Agu Awka.
APC cannot continue to play the second fiddle when nationally they are the ones calling the shots. However we can only succeed in this mission if we are ready and actually present a generally acceptable aspirant. As it is today, two other southeast states have matched words with action, Imo State and Ebonyi State are now within the control of the party, Anambra State, which is seen as the base of the southeast region, is yet to be connected to the national political grid.
Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu is the only man who has
shown wider acceptability, reachability, connectability, and empirically known
to be an experienced politician.
In 1999, Ukachukwu contested for and won a
seat in the Nigerian House of Representatives,
representing the Orumba North/South Federal Constituency of Anambra State under
the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP). As a member of the House
of Representatives, Ukachukwu was vocal on issues relating to youth
empowerment, rural development, and infrastructure. He used his legislative
platform to advocate the improvement of educational facilities and road
infrastructure in his constituency.
Ukachukwu’s tenure in the House of
Representatives was marked by his commitment to constituency development
projects. He launched several initiatives aimed at providing basic amenities to
rural areas, including the installation of water boreholes, electrification
projects, and the construction of schools. His ability to effectively balance
his legislative duties with his business endeavors made him a well-respected
figure among his constituents.
Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu (Ikukuoma Ndigbo), the
owner of Prince and Princess Abuja, a real estate mogul who has done well not
only for himself, but also for his community, state and nation, is an astute
businessman with wide network in oil and gas. He is an Osumenyi born political hero
who has also distinguished himself in the world of politics. Formerly chairman
of Abuja Municipal Council, Ukachukwu during his time at the helm of affairs,
the Council witnessed the highest level of infrastructural growth and
development.
Also embedded in his unblemished character is
the spirit of humility, which has earned him elevation among and over his
contemporaries. Though always in the service of his people, Ukachukwu has not
been involved in any controversy, which is a credible signification of his
undented lifestyle, call him a neat man you won't be wrong.
It is now public knowledge that Anambra State
needs grassroots leader like Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu to clean the mess in
Anambra State, the rot and rudderlessness in leadership for which Anambra State
has been known for about a decade and it must stop now so that the state will
have a breath of fresh air again.
He has acquired the nickname of a grassroots
politician, the first of its kind, who combined politics with philanthropy, a
man who bear the burden of others as if they are his own, the downtrodden, the
widows, the less-privileged, those with disabilities, the poor and the
needy are in the majority of his payroll, he takes care of them and provides
for them, making him a man with the best platform politically in Anambra State,
no other politician in Anambra State can match his wide reach and spread.
His political
trajectory is a testament of a proven track record of empowering communities
and creating wealth, a businessman and philanthropist, he has invested heavily
in education, infrastructure, and job creation, touching lives in ways few
leaders have. His passion for development has already transformed many lives,
and as governor, he will bring that same energy to drive Anambra forward.
Ikukuoma Ndigbo as he
is fondly called is a very cool headed Godly Christian who is very passionate
about keeping God's injunctions for the betterment of man. Today, Prince
Nicholas Ukachukwu has offered himself to serve Anambra people and Nigerians,
let's give him a chance by giving him the ticket of APC to contest and win the
coming Anambra gubernatorial election. For me there is no better way to say
thank you than to give him more tasking assignment so that he can lead us from
Agu Awka, the government house, because he stands out as the beacon of hope.
As it is in the public
domain, immediately he confirmed his aspiration, over10 grassroots support
groups across the 21 local government areas in the state have come together,
pledging their full allegiance to his vision of a prosperous, industrialized,
and people-centered Anambra State; the youth movements, market women
associations and professional bodies, have all acknowledged the leadership of
Prince Ukachukwu.
It is a truism Anambra
is politically disconnected from the national power structure, limiting
opportunities for the state. Prince Ukachukwu understands that for Anambra to
thrive, it must be strategically positioned to attract federal projects,
industrial investments, and infrastructural funding. Without argument, his
leadership will ensure that Anambarian are no longer left behind in national
politics but are given their rightful place at the decision-making boardroom.
He has the competence, compassion, and capacity, and these are the qualities
that the state needs at this critical juncture.
