Ahead of the November 8, 2025 governorship election in Anambra State, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mr. Nicholas Ukachukwu said his team will set up a 30-man campaign council at the polling units, 25-man campaign council at the wards and another 25-man campaign council at the local government level to ensure total victory.
The strategic plan was made public by Ukachukwu on Saturday in Awka, after a stakeholders’ meeting to review activities of the party.
“It is a review meeting to know our challenges and find solution to them.
“I am happy for where we are now in the state, is quite encouraging, but we still have to make more efforts to win the November 8 governorship election”, he said.
He said that the meeting also discussed the party’s harmonised local governments, wards and polling units campaign council in the state.
“Then from there we now form the state campaign council for the Nov. 8 governoship election,” he said.
The candidate said that the party had since put behind the August 16 Senatorial and the State Assembly by-elections results which he alleged intimidation by the state government, and non-state actors during the elections.
Earlier, the state chairman of APC, Mr Basil Ejidike, said that the party had adopted ward based campaign strategy for the November 8 poll.
Ejidike said that the various support groups of the party would participate actively in the grassroots campaign strategy.
According to him, that party’s structure in the 21 local government areas of the state will go back and adopt this strategy.
“All our local government committees will collapse into the ward levels to achieve a robust campaign strategy that will attract support for the Nov. 8 election.
“Every stakeholder of the APC in Anambra has a role to play during the campaign,” he said.
Also speaking, the Chief of Staff to Ukachukwu, Dr Kingsley Ezekwem, expressed confidence that the party would surmount all challenges to win the election.
“If we are committed and work in synergy as a party, family and team victory is assured come November 8,” he said.
Ezekwem described Ukachukwu as a successful business man with wealth of experience in commerce to move the state to greater heights, adding that Ukachukwu is a man with wealth of experience as an entrepreneur.
“He is a successful businessman, therefore there is no doubt that he will do well as a governor,” he added.
