…Declare Support for Ukachukwu in Anambra 2025
Youths in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), under the aegis of the APC Youth Vanguard, have commended President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for his commitment towards the development of the South-East region.
The National Convener of the APC Youth Vanguard, Dr. Chibueze Oleka, made this commendation on Saturday in Awka, Anambra State.
He stated that President Tinubu’s second visit to Anambra within five months shows the President’s genuine interest in the state and his willingness to carry every part of the country along in his leadership. He described the visits as signs of a listening and inclusive administration that values unity and regional balance.
Dr. Oleka also reaffirmed the group’s full support for President Tinubu’s administration and future political plans. According to him, the APC Youth Vanguard is mobilizing across the 21 local government areas of Anambra State to ensure victory for the party in the coming elections and beyond.
He congratulated High Chief Nicholas Ukachukwu, the APC flag bearer ahead of the November 2025 Anambra governorship election, and assured him of the Youth Vanguard’s active support. Oleka described Ukachukwu as a leader with the drive and vision to move Anambra forward, calling on Ndi Anambra to rally behind him for a new era of development.
Speaking on Governor Charles Soludo, the group appreciated his reception of President Tinubu during the recent visit, but added that his time in office has run its course and called on him to prepare for a peaceful handover.
“Soludo has tried within his own limit, but it is clear to the people that Anambra needs a new direction. Chief Ukachukwu is prepared to offer that direction with a well-defined plan to reposition the state,” Oleka stated.
The statement reads ” PRESS STATEMENT BY APC YOUTH VANGUARD Dated: May 9, 2025
The APC Youth Vanguard extends sincere appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for once again visiting Anambra State—his second visit in just five months. This repeated show of attention reflects the President’s genuine concern for the people of Anambra and the entire South-East. We are thankful for his commitment to building unity across the nation.
As a body of progressive-minded youths, we fully support President Tinubu’s administration and leadership direction. We recognize his efforts to rebuild Nigeria, and we are already preparing to rally support for him ahead of the next general election. We believe continuity under his watch will bring lasting solutions to the challenges facing our country.
We congratulate High Chief Nicholas Ukachukwu, the APC governorship candidate in Anambra State, ahead of the November 2025 election. His emergence brings fresh hope and renewed energy to the party. Our youth structures across all the 3 Senatorial zones and 21 local Government Areas are already mobilizing support to ensure victory for the APC come November.
Chief Ukachukwu has shown leadership and a clear plan to move Anambra forward. His experience and passion for development are what the state needs at this crucial time. We urge the people of Anambra to give him their full support, as we work together for a better future.
We also commend Governor Charles Soludo for the warm and respectful reception he gave President Tinubu during his visit. It is important for leaders to work together in the interest of national progress. Governor Soludo has tried within his capacity, but the truth remains that Anambra needs a new direction, one that will bring deeper development and inclusive growth.
As the 2025 election draws near, we encourage Governor Soludo to prepare for a smooth transition. The people of Anambra deserve more than what they currently have. Chief Ukachukwu represents the future of the state, and he is coming with a clear road map to lift Anambra to greater heights.
However, we thank President Tinubu for his continued visits and care for Anambra. We also congratulate Chief Ukachukwu and assure him that the APC Youth Vanguard is solidly behind him. Our team remains active and ready to deliver support that will secure victory at the polls in all the 21 local Government Areas in the state.
Signed: Dr. Chibueze Oleka National Convener, APC Youth Vanguard.
