A wave of jubilation has swept across Anambra State as Sen. Uche Ekwunife has joined forces with Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu as his running mate in the Nov. 8 governorship election under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The development has sparked excitement across the state’s 21 local government areas, with APC supporters and stakeholders hailing the move as a masterstroke.
The Ukachukwu-Ekwunife ticket is seen as a powerful synergy, combining entrepreneurial acumen with legislative brilliance.
While Ukachukwu brings a comprehensive blueprint for economic rejuvenation, Ekwunife’s unparalleled grassroots connection and mobilization machinery are expected to drive the campaign to victory.
Ekwunife, a seasoned lawmaker, is known for her impactful legislative capacity and constituency development initiatives, particularly in education, women’s rights, youth empowerment, and infrastructure.
Her inclusion in the ticket is expected to bring a unique perspective to governance.
The ticket is expected to give the incumbent a tough contest in the election scheduled for November 8.
