The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the November 8, 2025, Anambra State election, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu has said that he will run the state like a business if elected into office.

In an interview, Ukachukwu emphasized the need for a business-like approach to governance, citing his experience as a successful businessman.

If you don’t run the government like a business, you will fail. Anambra State needs to be run as a business because you are running the collective wealth of the people", he said.

The APC candidate, who emerged victorious in the party's primary election held on April 5, 2025, with 1,455 votes, promised to leverage his entrepreneurial acumen to drive economic transformation in Anambra, focusing on key areas such as agriculture, healthcare, education, security, and infrastructure development.

Ukachukwu also addressed criticisms from his closest rival, Valentine Ozigbo, who described the APC primaries as a "charade" and alleged that non-party members participated as delegates.

The APC candidate dismissed the claims as misleading, stating that the party's membership recognizes his capacity to deliver victory.

He expressed confidence in his ability to unseat the incumbent governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, citing President Bola Tinubu's backing as a boost to his candidacy.

Ukachukwu also pledged to serve a single term to complete the eight-year zoning arrangement for Anambra South , promoting equity and fairness in governance.

Ukachukwu urged his opponents at the party primary to rally behind his candidacy, emphasizing the need to deliver Anambra to the APC.
