Anambra Guber; Has Ifeanyi Ubah Resonated In Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu?
Evang Prince Nicholas Chukwujekwu Ukachukwu was a friend of the Late Distinguished Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
In 2019, Prince Ukachukwu contested for Senate on the platform of APGA against the late Senator Ubah who was the candidate of YPP.
At the end of the election, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah won. He defeated Chris Uba of PDP, Andy Uba of APC and Ukachukwu of APGA.
Chris Uba went to court.
Andy Uba went to court.
Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu invited Ifeanyi Ubah to his house and told him that he was not going to challenge the outcome of the election.
He accepted defeat and promised to support Ifeanyi Ubah to succeed in the Senate.
In 2023, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu knowing that Senator Ifeanyi Ubah had done so well in the Senate refused to contest against him again. He supported him to defeat, Chris Uba of PDP, Chris Azubogu of APGA and Obinna Uzo of Labour Party.
Towards this journey of 2025 Anambra state governorship election. Senator Ifeanyi Ubah went to Ikukuoma to consult him.
When he met with Ikukuoma at his Abuja residence, Ifeanyi Ubah told him that he came to inform him that he would contest the 2025 governorship election against Prof Soludo.
Ikukuoma thanked the late Senator for founding him worthy to consult him. He thereafter told Ubah that he had wanted to contest the governorship election but since he has already declared that he would no longer contest.
He promised to use his resources, mobilize his supporters and ensure that he delivers Nnewi South LGA to Ubah.
That was the deal sealed. And the late Senator left with these assurances from a dependable ally.
But along the line, death struck and we lost one of the best political angels of our time – a man with a heart of gold. Humane, tough and consistent in giving.
Having lost Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, Evang Nicholas Ukachukwu stepped out.
Initially, I doubted his capacity to fight this battle knowing that Prof Soludo is mean.
But following the events leading to the APC primaries closely. I came to agree with Hon Ben Umeh , Nwachinagbaluogu na Orumba that the spirit of Ifeanyi Ubah has found his way into Prince Evang Nicholas Ukachukwu.
The capacity with which Ukachukwu bulldozed his way into APC and pushed every rivalry out is reminiscent to the what Ifeanyi Ubah has been doing to opposition.
The financial capacity he has exhibited has a spirit of Ifeanyi Ubah touch.
There is every spirit of Ifeanyi Ubah in this November 8th journey that Prince Ukachukwu is undertaking.
He has started like Ifeanyi Ubah, it is certain he will finish strong like Ikemba Ndigbo and send Prof Soludo and APGA out of Agu Awka come November 8th.
It is expected that all lovers of Ifeanyi Ubah should align with Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu and support him to conclude the journey which Ebubechukwu Uzo started last year.

Breaking: Diri Orders Autopsy on Bayelsa Deputy Governor’s Death, Warns Against Politicisation
Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death of the state’s Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo.
Governor Diri gave the directive on Saturday while receiving former President Goodluck Jonathan at the Government House in Yenagoa.
Reacting to the incident, the governor condemned what he described as widespread misinformation and speculation on social media, warning against any attempt to politicise the deputy governor’s death.
“I want to make an appeal. I have seen people politicise his death. In Ijaw land, there is no enmity in death. Let nobody politicise the passing of our dearly beloved deputy governor,” Diri said.
“If anyone truly loves him, this is the time to show it. I have directed that an autopsy be carried out to reveal the cause of his death. There is a lot of nonsense going on on social media.”
The governor further urged the public to focus on mourning and honouring the late deputy governor, noting that the state government had declared three working days of mourning in his honour.
“If anyone is issuing statements to eulogise him, let it end there. Let us mourn him because Bayelsa State is in a mourning mood,” he added.
Governor Diri also called for unity and love among the people, reminding them of the inevitability of death.
Speaking during the condolence visit, former President Goodluck Jonathan described the late Ewhrudjakpo as a committed and dedicated individual who played a key role in the activities of his foundation.
“For me, he was someone my foundation and I will never forget. He represented the governor in all our programs,” Jonathan said, adding that Ewhrudjakpo worked tirelessly in that role, even more than when he served as deputy governor.
The founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said he will never take part in partisan politics, not for even billions of naira.
He stated that no amount of money, including “$1 billion,” (1.4 Trillion naira) would make him join politics.
Oyedepo made this known during an impartation service at Shiloh 2025 held at the church’s headquarters in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.
He explained that partisan politics is not part of his life’s calling and that is why he has chosen to stay away from it.
In his words: “In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?
“Partisan politics is off my calling. If you give me $1 billion to join politics, I won’t, because it is off my course.”
The bishop also said the world is in urgent need of God’s intervention because of the times we are living in.
According to him, believers are being trained as an end-time army to bring solutions to national and global problems, similar to what biblical figures like Joseph and Daniel did.
