Frontline Governorship Aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State, Sir Paul Chukwuma, is very certain of clinching the sole ticket of the party in its primary election slated for April 5 this year.
Speaking on Television Continental’s (TVC) current affairs programme on Tuesday, March 25, Chukwuma attributed his optimism to the overwhelming grassroots support he enjoys, crediting it to his role in repositioning and strengthening the APC in Anambra over the past three years.
Addressing the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) dominance in Anambra politics, Chukwuma declared that the political landscape would shift come November 8, 2025. He said the APC was 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 under Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s Administration and argued that many of the state’s pressing issues were local problems that fell squarely within the purview of the state government.
He assured 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 asserted.
