Nicholas Ukachukwu, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra, has made very bold claims about Governor Soludo, adding that President Bola Tinubu is a loyal party man who will not support any candidate outside his party.
Ukachukwu stated on Thursday in an interview with “Politics Today” on Channels Television.
The APC candidate took a swipe at Chukwuma Soludo, the incumbent governor of Anambra, for allegedly relying on Tinubu’s backing despite belonging to a different political party.
“We know president Tinubu is not anti-party. He is a party man, won’t support another party aside from APC. He wants our party to win,” Ukachukwu said.
“How would a governor who has governed the state for almost four years be banking on another party leader’s support? Is it not laughable?”
Ukachukwu accused Soludo of using a double standard, claiming that the governor is trying to stay in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) while disguising himself as a “progressive.”
“The only credibility he has is to say ‘progressives’ are working together, wearing a cap of APC and another one for his party, APGA,” he said.
He claimed that the people of Anambra have been dissatisfied by the governor’s performance, which has fallen short of expectations.
Additionally, he berated the magnitude of Soludo’s campaign rallies, claiming that they were insignificant compared to his own community involvement.
“See the rally he’s doing. I can tell you that my community tour is bigger than his local government tour. That would show who people want and who they don’t want,” he added.
Recall that APGA chieftain Soludo met with Tinubu on August 12 and promised to back the president’s 2027 reelection campaign.
The governor of Anambra showed up for the private meeting donning a headgear bearing Tinubu’s emblem.
Following the meeting, Soludo declared that his friendship with Tinubu, which has lasted for more than 20 years, will not be shattered by political disagreements.
Ukachukwu later accused the governor of spinning the visit as an endorsement that “does not exist”.
