Anambra Election: Ikemba Front Endorses Paul Chukwuma For Governor

By Ebuka Onyekwelu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) support group, Ikemba Front, has unanimously endorsed Sir Paul Chukwuma to contest for Governor ahead of the upcoming party primary for the November 8, 2025, Anambra gubernatorial election.

The group, a prominent political support organization in the APC that was courted by the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, announced its endorsement of Sir Paul Chukwuma’s candidacy on Thursday. The announcement was made at a large meeting convened by the founder and leader of the group, Dr. Chidi Okoye, in Awka, Anambra State. The event was attended by Barr. Chugbor Enwezor, among other leaders of the group.

Also present at the meeting were local government coordinators from all 21 LGAs of Anambra State, who collectively endorsed Chukwuma for governor. The group highlighted that Chukwuma is not only a dedicated party member but has also been instrumental in making the APC more attractive in Anambra State in recent times.

The Ikemba Front further emphasized that Chukwuma’s significant support for the group since the passing of Senator Ubah is one of the key reasons he deserves their endorsement.

In addition, it was noted that the Anambra state chapter of the APC recently welcomed two prominent sons of the state, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu and Prof. Obiora Okonkwo, both of whom have expressed interest in the governorship race. The two individuals have also visited the Anambra APC State Working Committee to formally declare their intentions to contest.

Ikemba Front, however, recognized that Sir Paul Chukwuma is a founding member of the APC, having served as the party’s national auditor and held other key positions since its inception. Despite his national role, Chukwuma has remained deeply connected with the group, embracing them as one of their own.

In an interview with newsmen, Dr. Chidi Okoye, the leader and founder of Ikemba Front, emphasized that Paul Chukwuma is the best candidate the party can offer for the upcoming gubernatorial election.

 

Okoye further stated that, beyond being a trustworthy party loyalist, Chukwuma is fully prepared to lead Anambra State out of the current challenges and instability that have marked the present administration. Okoye expressed confidence that Chukwuma would lead the state into a future of sustained prosperity that every Anambra citizen would be proud of.
