Tinubu Hands APC Flag to Ukachukwu; Ekwunife Calls to Win Anambra



President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed strong optimism and unwavering commitment to ensuring the All Progressives Congress (APC) secures a decisive victory in the upcoming Anambra State governorship election scheduled for November 8, 2025.

The President made this declaration at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa during a ceremony where he formally presented the APC flag to Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, the party’s governorship candidate, alongside his running mate, Senator Uche Ekwunife.

In a stirring address, President Tinubu charged the duo to "go and get me Anambra," underscoring his confidence in their capacity to deliver the state for the APC.

The event, attended by senior party officials and government dignitaries, was marked by a palpable sense of enthusiasm.

Observers described the President’s public endorsement as both heartening and galvanizing, reflecting his full backing of the candidates and his faith in their ability to secure victory for the party.

President Tinubu assured Ukachukwu and Ekwunife of the party’s steadfast support, emphasizing, "We are going to work with you and stand by you come rain or shine."

He further stated, "The party is supreme, but victory is superior and absolutely essential."

Highlighting the collective efforts that led to the successful primary elections in April, the President praised the leadership of the APC at both the national and state levels for their dedication to the party’s success.

President Tinubu also lauded the selection of Senator Ekwunife as Ukachukwu’s running mate, describing her as a “round peg in a round hole” and an exemplary choice.

“Distinguished Senator Ekwunife, your selection as running mate is a masterstroke. I have no doubt that with you and our flagbearer, the APC will emerge victorious. You have been described as ‘giant killers,’ and I wish you both the very best in this crucial contest,”
he remarked.

The flag presentation ceremony was graced by key party leaders, including the National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State Chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum and the Chief of Staff to the President, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.

With the party’s flag now officially entrusted to them, Ukachukwu and Ekwunife are poised to mount a robust campaign aimed at delivering Anambra State decisively into the APC fold.

I don't know why you guys are always deceived that APC will win Anambra even if Peter Obi is the flag bearer. No one, I repeat, no one will win Anambra governorship election under APC in Anambra state.

Even with Ekwunife as a running mate, Soludo will win with a landslide. I'm sure Tinubu, Ukachukwu and Ekwunife all know this. But for the sake of the party, they must play along.
Re: Tinubu Hands APC Flag To Ukachukwu And Ekwunife Expresses Confidence In Them by Macphenson: 9:12am On May 27, 2025
LOL. Congratulations to Gov. Soludo in advance. Soludo just won his second tenure with this combo APC presented.

Ukachukwu that doesnt have political clout and currency with Ekwunife the people of Anambra doesnt like. What a disaterous combo.
Re: Tinubu Hands APC Flag To Ukachukwu And Ekwunife Expresses Confidence In Them by Lanre4uonly(m): 9:13am On May 27, 2025
Ok, noted.
All the best to the good people of Anambra state as they go to the poll.

It all started with the late Distinguished Senator , so it was supposed to be Late Sen. Ifeanyi Uba and Sen. Uche Ekunife as his running mate but death played fast on him .

If it was Ifeanyi Uba you know it would have been a very difficult task for Solution right?

They ensured that they factionalized LP in Anambra state, using Abure and then handing that factional ticket to George Moughalu, an APC man. George Moughalu is expected to ride on the name of Peter Obi and then try to win the governorship. If he wins, then he will decamp to APC, making Anambra an APC state. Unfortunately that permutation will fail. Labour Party controls most of the NASS and state assembly seats in Anambra state, because of Obi.

Soludo is getting stronger by the day. Soludo daily is plotting how to navigate the Obi hurdle and land his second term. Ukachukwu is out of it completely, just the same as Ekwunife, who was roundly defeated right from her polling booth to the state, in the last elections by LP. In all, I do not see how Soludo can be defeated now in Anambra state. If LP sorts out its issues, then APGA/Soludo will have a hard day on Election Day. APC is not part of the political permutations of Anambra state, even with the likes of Ngige and Arthur one million.

Am not talking of Ifeanyi Uba. My focus is Ukachukwu/Ekwunife.
Onve again, Congratulations to Soludo.

Anything for Tinubu to continue beyond 2027 is a political game which he must play.
