Making this disclosure at the Chinua Achebe International Airport, Umueri, Anambra East Council of Anambra State this afternoon while addressing journalists and the mammoth crowd that came to receive him and his running mate, Sen Uche Ekwunife on their return from receiving the party flag from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja, the APC candidate- Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu driven by so much confidence said the APC would floor Soludo on November 8,2025 at the poll.
Ikukuoma, as Ukachukwu was popularly called told this to the tumultuous crowd on their arrival when he was treated to a tumultuous reception at the Achebe airport.
In his remarks, the Anambra State APC chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike noted that Gov Soludo and his APGA supporters were celebrating a fake self alliance with APC two earlier when visited the State in his capacity as the nation’s President.
But while presenting the APC flag, Tinubu copiously charged Ukachukwu and Ekwunife to “go and get Anambra for me” , which was emphatic and resounding.
He noted that the celebration of the APGA faithful died a natural death with the arrival of Ikukuoma.
According to Ejidike, “Asiwaju Tinubu has confirmed the candidature of Ikukuoma who will lead Anambra to the real center,” he said.
Ikukuoma while addressing the mammoth crowd thanked God for his victory at the governorship primary of APC.
“I’m back with a message from President Ahmed Tinubu to all of us in APC, the message is simple ‘Go and bring me Anambra’, Anambra cannot afford to be backward when issues of Nigeria is being discussed.
“Nkea bu nkeanyi’ is not working, we must be get it right now. We are Tinubu, Tinubu is us and we are APC. We will win the election landslide. APC is our party, Tinubu is our president. We will not rig the election, we will win the election clean and clear,” he asserted.
The flagbearer urged the party faithful to go all out and bring out the voters who will vote for APC in the governorship election.
“It’s over for APGA in Anambra State. Soludo is now very desperate and dropping names and reaching out to stakeholders belatedly. Soludo has never win any election in his life, Obiano won it for him three years ago. November 8 governorship election will show him that he is just floating,” he stressed.
The APC guber candidate used the occasion to unveil his running mate, Sen Uche Ekwunife who thanked the people for turning out en-mass to receive her and her principal.
