Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 8 election in Anambra, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu has reassured his preparedness to fix the State if he emerged victorious at the poll.
Ukachukwu gave the assurance during a post thank you tour press briefing in Awka.
He said his tour of the 21 local government areas of the state availed him opportunity to appreciate the collosal failure of the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) administration led by Prof Chukwuma Soludo.
He described the level of reception and support accorded to him during “thank you” tour as manifestation of the failure of the current administration.
Ukachukwu said he got into the race as a child of circumstances due to the death of Sen Ifeanyi Ubah who he already promised to support all the way.
He recalled how Anambra had always been a shining light which attracted all and sundry from far and near.
The governorship hopeful however regretted that the light is completely quenched under the watch of the current administration.
Anambra shadow of former self
“Anambra has become a shadow of herself. There used to be uninterrupted water supply as well as electricity supply across the State.
Ukachukwu regretted that the state which once enjoyed uninterrupted water and power supply can no longer boast of such.
“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 leaving the people impoverished.
“Sen Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah was the only person who had a complete welfare package for Ndi-Anambra.
His approach to governance and our model are similar.
“We will ensure that the dream of the late Senator is accomplished by our administration.
“The level of reception and support so far accorded me during our thank you tour is a manifestation of the failure of the government of the day.
Five-star governance
He said the reception has always rekindled the fire of commitment and passion in him 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.
“Instead of concentrating on projects that will empower the people of the State, the government is celebrating inanities which cannot add value to Ndi-Anambra.
“Under my watch, there won’t be room for criminal organizations like ‘Aka Odo’ and Agunechemba which present administration has turned to militia groups to intimidate the people.
The APC flagbearer assured Ndi-Anambra that he would be meeting with the press on monthly or bimonthly as well as setting up platforms to have unfettered interactions with the people.
