Why Anambra Must Align With The Centre

It was Chief Obafemi Awolowo who posited that “Politics is not about isolation; it’s about connection and partnership.

For years, Anambra has stood proud full of brilliant minds, hardworking traders, and some of the most resourceful people in Nigeria. But even with all our strength, we can agree on one thing: development moves faster when there is understanding and connection between the state and the federal government.

That’s what people mean when they say, “Align with the centre.” It’s not about blind loyalty; it’s about smart politics.

Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu and Senator Uche Ekwunife represent that bridge. a team that can open the doors of Abuja to Anambra’s needs. With them, Anambra won’t have to shout from afar; our voices will be heard clearly at the table where decisions are made.

For too long, Anambra has watched other states benefit from federal projects, special funds, and partnerships simply because they were better connected to the centre. We can’t keep standing aside while others move ahead.

Ukachukwu brings business sense, structure, and a track record of results. He understands how to turn opportunities into real projects. Ekwunife adds political experience, national reach, and a people-driven touch. Together, they form a strong link between our local needs and the federal system that drives national development.

Aligning with the centre doesn’t mean losing our identity. It means positioning our state to benefit from the flow of national development such as roads, industries, education, and federal presence.

It’s time for Anambra to think beyond politics of isolation. The world runs on connection, and so does development.

Vote Ukachukwu/Ekwunife for prosperous Anambra State.
