The All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate for November polls in Anambra state Princes Nicholas Ukachukwu and the state chairman of the party Chief Basil Ejidike on Sunday August 17th 2025 condemned the alleged detaining of journalists to prevent reports of wide spread election fraud occurred at the by election conduct at Anambra Senatorial district on Saturday.
The two key politicians disclosed that their discreet investigations revealed that reason why 18 journalists were harassed, beaten up and detained under gunpoint was to prevent them from reporting to the world the massive fraud they saw.
Meanwhile, reports reaching Trinitas Newspaper revealed that the real results of weekend’s senatorial and State Assembly results for Orsumenyi Ward 2 and other places have gradually started surfacing in the open for all to see.
And Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, (aka Ikukuoma) -the APC Governorship candidate for the coming Nov 8, 2025 poll won convincingly in virtually all polling booth.
This, according to APC and Ukachukwu “was despite all the Anambra State government’s shenanigans to make the world believe that the people’s Prince lost in his Ward.
“Unfortunately, not minding the invasion of the polling unit and rewriting of results at Orsumenyi Ward 1 by a platoon of armed thugs allegedly commanded by the State’s Deputy Governor, Dr Onyekachukwu Gilbert Ibezim, and subsequently fierce efforts to manipulate and change that of Orsumenyi Ward 2 at the Local Government collation centre, Ukpor which was openly resisted by INEC and party officials and agents, it remained a herculean task.
“This stoic posture of these officials and agents made it impossible for anyone from anywhere to defeat the people’s Prince Ikukuoma Ndigbo in his Ward -Orsumenyi Ward 2.
“His sweeping victory here, which has literally become traditional clearly stared the ruling APGA in the face when, according to them they came to overwhelm Orsumenyi people, but the Orsumenyi youths resisted every of their moves vehemently.
“It’s a very well know aspect of our electoral jurisprudence that it’s an offence for anyone, no matter how highly placed to veer off his community into another persons community on an election day sauntering like a dictatorial emperor of the mediaval era from polling unit to another molesting and intimidating the natives with his very ill-mannered armed thugs as allegedly did the Anambra State Deputy Governor, Dr Ibezim in Orsumenyi on August 16,2025.
“His band of foul mouthed armed thugs readily shoot indiscriminately while snatching ballot boxes as their emperor gives the orders.
At a World Press Conference at APC headquarters in Awka addressed by Prince Ukachukwu and the APC State chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike, they wondered “what was on the mind of Gov Charles Soludo when he chose to order the invasion of Orsumenyi, the country home of Ukachukwu (Ikukuoma) on Aug 16,2025.
This is, to say the least, is clearly the height of political provocation.
This included assault and arrest of perceived vocal opposition party members
“But in all these Ikukuoma maintained cool composure and persevered for his people.
One therefore wonders what was Gov Soludo’s scores in his Isuofia community, Aguata Council in the last general election, and how such figures were generated.
“While we urge our supporters to remain calm, we sincerely urge the INEC and the relevant security agencies, as well as the Presidency to be respectfully mindful of this strange brand of politics by APGA led administration as it’s clearly an evil that’s not good for/to anyone now or in future”, the statement emphasized.
