He was welcomed and received by the Osumenyi APC Ward 1 Chairman, Hon. Ikechukwu Onyeka, alongside other ward executive members in the Nnewi South local government area on Tuesday, January 7.
Ukachukwu, a former member of the Federal House of Representatives representing Abuja Area Council said he joined the APC to link Anambra state to the center (Abuja).
According to the Nigerian Tribune, he stated this while speaking to newsmen shortly after the event.
“I decided to join the ruling party and contest for the governorship position after several calls and intense persuasion by concerned individuals, civil society organizations, and political groups, particularly the Sustenance of Faith in Governance (SOFIG), Ikemba Frontiers, Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation, 21/21 Movement, Integrity Movement, and Golden Ladies, urging me to contest for the governorship position in the state.
