The leading All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirant for the November 8, 2025, Anambra State governorship election, Sir Paul Chukwuma, has expressed confidence in his chances, stating that the endorsement by the Ikemba Front has secured half of his electoral victory.

Speaking during a mini rally at his Umueri country home in Anambra East Local Government Area, Sir Chukwuma described the endorsement as a significant boost to his campaign. Members of the Ikemba Front gathered at his residence to officially confirm their support for his candidacy.

“I am deeply grateful for your endorsement and embrace it wholeheartedly. Together, we will fix Anambra State. Our journey is one of peace and progress. Anyone opposing our mission to rebuild Anambra should step aside because we are determined to succeed,” Chukwuma declared.

He further expressed optimism about the forthcoming APC primary and the general election, assuring that his administration would prioritize security, youth empowerment, and power supply if elected.

“God has given us the strength to contest and lead. With Ikemba Front’s support, our mission to change the leadership at Agu Awka is certain. My administration will bring transformation, and everyone—Ikemba Front members, APC members, and even those who join later—will benefit from our vision for a better Anambra State,” he added.

In a separate interview, Sir Chukwuma emphasized the strategic importance of Ikemba Front’s support, noting that the group would play a critical role in both the primary and general election campaigns.

The Ikemba Front, represented by 21 local government coordinators, executive members, and state chapter chairmen from Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Lagos, pledged to mobilize their numerical strength to ensure Chukwuma’s victory.

One of the group’s stakeholders, Barr. Chugbo Enwezor, described the endorsement as a milestone, noting Chukwuma’s exceptional qualities and readiness to lead.
