From CHARLES ONYEKWERE, Awka
Coordinator of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Media Warriors Forum, Evangelist Chinedu Obigwe, has described the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate for the forthcoming November 8 election, Nicholas Ukachukwu, as a “floating politician” unknown to the party.
Reacting to a purported statement credited to the Imo State governor , Hope Uzodimma, suggesting that there is no alliance between President Bola Tinubu and Governor Charles Soludo, Obigwe stated that Ukachukwu is not known to the president or even members of the APC in Anambra State.
According to him, Ukachukwu will continue “floating” until after the well-deserved declaration of Governor Soludo as the winner of the November 8 governorship election.
He dismissed reports allegedly originating from Governor Uzodimma, claiming it was orchestrated by the “drowning political camp” of Ukachukwu, now known in Anambra as Ikuku Ojor.
Obigwe insisted that Uzodimma did not issue the statement, asserting that he does not know Ukachukwu.
“The person lured with money by the drowning political camp of Ukachukwu to act as if he is speaking on behalf of Governor Uzodimma is Ijeomah Arodiogbu, the South East Chairman of the APC.
“I say this based on what transpired during President Tinubu’s recent visit to Anambra. If not for the magnanimity and large-heartedness of Soludo, Ukachukwu would not have been allowed to come anywhere near the visiting governors, ministers and the president.
“Amusingly, he used the opportunity given to him by Governor Soludo to exchange greetings with APC governors who looked at him and asked who are you?’
“He then introduced himself as the APC governorship candidate in Anambra. Even after that, they still treated him like a complete stranger,” Obigwe said.
He stated that President Tinubu’s visit to Anambra exposed Ukachukwu as a total stranger in the APC, alleging that he used money to hijack the party’s ticket in the state.
