The candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the fast approaching November 2025 Anambra Governorship election, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, has restated his commitment to restore security and confidence of the citizens in good governance upon his election as governor.

Ukachukwu, fondly called Ikukuoma made the statement while addressing a cross section of supporters, electorates and well-wishers at the St Albert The Great Catholic Parish, Obosi on Sunday.

According to him, rather than rhetoric, the time has come for action so as to salvage the state.

Ukachukwu emphasised that his mission is to “fix the awesome dilapidation Anambra has suffered, so that things can work again. He noted that his vision was hinged principally on results and performance, and not rhetorical empty words that usually amount to nothing.

“We shall no longer dwell on empty promises. Our work will speak for us,” he said to a cheering congregation.

He expressed gratitude for the warm reception from the parishioners, members of the Sustenance of Faith in Good Governance, SOFIG, and extended heartfelt appreciation to the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Augustine Obiosa, whom he described as “a vessel of God’s grace and truth.”

Fr. Obiosa prayed for Ukachukwu’s success, declaring that God would answer his prayers and that he would one day return to the church as Governor to give thanks. “Anambra must move forward,” he added, urging parishioners to support Ukachukwu’s vision for a new, functional state built on integrity and service.

Ukachukwu promised to roof the ongoing church project as part of his personal contribution to their ongoing development efforts.

Ikukuoma vowed to convert the Omasi, Ayamelum Council area's massive Natural gas deposit to the benefit of all Anambra citizens. He noted that the deliverable energy supply therefrom will benefit all parts of the state and Nigeria.

He said that when the state builds the gas plant, it will make life better for each Anambra State household. It will also reduce the cost of electricity tariff. The gas, Ukachukwu added will be sold at a very low rate to low income earners first. Then what remains would then be sold to the rich.

On the widespread prolonged tension pervading market leaderships in the State, he disclosed that the traders must be the ones to elect their leadership. That external interference from the government or anyone. He said,

"My Government will only witness the process. "The leadership will include natives and non natives. I will pursue inclusive leadership in all aspects of governance.
