Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 8, 2025, Anambra election, has pledged to forcefully convert any kidnapper’s den located in the state into an industrial hub, if elected as governor.
The Governorship hopeful made the remarks during a meeting with over 200 members of the Association of Pass President Generals of Anambra State (APPAS), held at the Amawbia Town Hall in Awka South Local Government Area of the State, on Wednesday.
Ukachukwu stressed that what Anambra needs at this time is not monuments for show but a secure, industrialised environment capable of driving economic growth and job creation.
He stated that his policy agenda includes: an agricultural chain revolution, the establishment of a power plant to energise industrial clusters, and stronger measures to secure lives and property in the state.
Ukachukwu said, “In Anambra, it is either you are manufacturing, trading, or farming. We will provide the enabling environment for these activities to thrive. Academic certificates or grammar do not build industries—factories, power, and security do.”
“I will give honorarium to any President Generals after serving their community diligently.”
The APC candidate also faulted the state of healthcare facilities, describing many of the hospitals as glorified mortuaries.
He expressed confidence in his party’s chances, stating that President Bola Tinubu had given a clear directive to ensure Anambra is delivered to the APC.
“We are confident of victory. The President has charged us to win Anambra for APC, and we will rise to that challenge,” he added.
Speaking on behalf of the group, the National President of APPAS, Mazi Omife I. Omife, appealed to the candidate to focus more of his campaign on issues that will bring more peace, unity, and development into the state.
