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 Governor of Imo State, 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 to members of the APC in Anambra State.
According to him, Ukachukwu will continue “floating” until after the well-deserved declaration of Gov. Soludo as the winner of the November 8 governorship election.
He dismissed the news reports allegedly originating from Gov.Uzodimma, claiming it was orchestrated by the “drowning political camp” of Nicholas Ukachukwu, now known in Anambra as Ikuku Ojor.
Obigwe insisted that Gov. Uzodimma did not issue the statement, asserting that the Imo State governor does not know Ukachukwu.

“The person lured with money by the drowning political camp of Nicholas 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 Governor Soludo, Nicholas 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 further stated that President Tinubu’s visit to Anambra exposed Ukachukwu as a total stranger in the APC, alleging that Ukachukwu used money to hijack the party’s ticket in the state.
