The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has taken a swipe at Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, the Governorship Candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Anambra November 8 poll,mocking him over what it described as his “serial indebtedness” that has continued to trail him in public.
In a statement on Monday, the National Coordinator of APGA Media Warriors Forum, Evangelist Chinedu Obigwe, said Ukachukwu’s recent embarrassment at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, further exposed what he called a lack of integrity.
According to Obigwe, a viral video showed Ukachukwu being confronted by business partners, who accused him of owing them huge sums of money while at the same time campaigning to be governor of Anambra State.
“This is the second time in recent months that Ukachukwu has been disgraced publicly by those he is owing,” Obigwe alleged.
He recalled that in an earlier incident, a man went stark naked in front of Ukachukwu’s residence, demanding to be paid.
“Now, in this latest video, his business partners boldly told him he cannot be running for governor while still owing people,” he added.
Obigwe mocked Ukachukwu, saying electioneering is capital-intensive and should not be pursued by someone allegedly struggling with debts.
He argued that the repeated confrontations showed Ukachukwu was unfit to lead Anambra.
“For his business partners to block him and his family at Transcorp Hilton, it means their patience has been exhausted.
“Ukachukwu is a mistake the Anambra electorate must avoid like a leper. He has nothing to offer the people. His only interest is to use Anambra’s resources to offset his huge debts. God forbid bad thing.”
However, a supporter of Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, Dr. Justin Nwankwo, dismissed the viral videos as staged drama.
“When you see a staged video, you will know. The recent circulating video claiming that Ikukuoma was attacked by people he allegedly owed ₦1 billion is nothing but a poorly scripted political drama, staged and sponsored to discredit a rising force ahead of the Anambra governorship election,” Nwankwo said.
