Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu has secured a better win in the APC governorship primary in Anambra State. According to results released at the primary election, Ukachukwu defeated his closest rival, Valentine Ozigbo, with a large margin. The event was held across party-designated venues in Anambra under the supervision of the party’s electoral committee.
Ukachukwu scored 1,455 votes, making him the clear winner. Valentine Ozigbo came second with 67 votes, while other aspirants, John Bosco Obinna and Edozie Madu, got 26 and 8 votes, respectively. Party leaders and observers described the outcome as a better choice for the APC in the upcoming Anambra election.
Reports from ENigeria News confirm that the exercise was peaceful. Voters from various wards turned out early to cast their ballots. Supporters were seen celebrating across several APC strongholds after the announcement.
Why Ukachukwu’s Win is a Better Step for Anambra APC
Many political observers say Ukachukwu’s victory is a better step for the APC in Anambra. The businessman and philanthropist is known for his wide grassroots support and years of political involvement. He previously contested under the PDP but has since moved to the APC, where his chances now seem brighter.
Supporters believe his background in business and public service gives him an edge. “He has the structure, the people, and the heart to lead. This is a better time for Anambra to try someone like him,” said a party official during the post-primary briefing.
His supporters say his record makes him a better candidate than others who have failed to connect with voters in the past.
