Awka - A governorship aspirant of All Progressives Congress (APC) for the November 8 Anambra State poll, Sir Paul Chukwuma, has expressed strong confidence in emerging victorious in the party’s primary election slated for Saturday, April 5, 2025.

Chukwuma attributed his optimism to the overwhelming grassroots support he is enjoying, attributing it to his role in repositioning and strengthening APC in the state over the past three years.

On the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) dominance in Anambra politics, Chukwuma declared that the political landscape would shift on November 8, 2025, adding that APC is well-positioned to take over the reins of government and offer more effective leadership for the state.

He also distinguished between the APC's policies at the federal level and the developmental and security challenges facing Anambra State under Governor Chukwuma Soludo's administration, arguing that many of the state’s pressing issues are local problems that fall squarely within the purview of the state government.

He promised that if elected, he would confront Anambra’s chronic insecurity head-on and implement decisive solutions.

Responding to claims that Anambra’s strong performance in education resulted from government-led initiatives, Chukwuma dismissed such assertions, crediting the state’s high educational rankings to mission schools, rather than public institutions.

“The Catholic Church and the Anglican Church have been the driving forces behind qualitative education in Anambra, while state-owned schools continue to suffer neglect,” he stated.
