YPP Guber Candidate Debunks Narrative On Onitsha FMC brawl Involving Anambra Commissioner 

The candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), in the November 8, 2025 Anambra governorship election, Sir Paul Chukwuma, has refuted that narrative trended by the ruling party on the Onitsha Federal Medical Center (FMC), incident involving the Commissioner for youth, Mr Patrick Agha Mba.

APGA had accused the security aides attached to Chukwuma of attacking Agha Mba and overpowering him after they attempted to remove the victims of the Onitsha Main market shooting and move them to an unknown location.

According to the ruling party, to prevent the move, the State Commissioner for Youth intervened but was severely assaulted by the security personnel accompanying Paul Chukwuma.

Reactive to the narrative, the campaign team of Sir Paul Chukwuma accused APGA of turning facts on its heads.

The campaign team explained that the Commissioner, who was on illicit mission was resisted by the relatives of the victims of the shooting, who earnestly wanted Chukwuma to move their loved ones to a better hospital for inadequate treatment.

The SPC Media, accused the commissioner of blocking the entrance gate to the hospital with a car and denying the gunshot victims access to a better healthcare, just because he wanted to score cheap political point and prove loyalty to his Principal.

“We have seen the video of Sir Paul Chukwuma’s intervention at the Onitsha Medical Centre, now in circulation by the failed APGA government in Anambra State.”

“This is part of the ongoing efforts of Soludo’s government to keep grappling with straws, in a bid to avoid serious engagement regarding his performance so far.”

“We, however, sympathize with them because we reckon that such behavior is expected from an outgoing government, with nothing left to offer.”

“A few days ago, the Governorship candidate of the YPP, Sir Paul Chukwuma, had to suspend his initial campaign plans to respond to an emergency arising from the violence meted out to innocent traders by operatives of the Anambra State Government, leading to some deaths, right in the heart of the main market in Onitsha.”

“This shocking incident immediately triggered the traders to their wits’ end, leading to the destruction of vehicles belonging to the leaders of Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra State – OCHA Brigade, accused of leading the onslaught on the traders. The agency’s office was also vandalized.”

“This was the situation in the market when Sir Paul Chukwuma arrived in the main market, Onitsha, and pleaded with the traders to remain calm and law-abiding. This can be seen in the video of Paul Chukwuma’s outing in the market.”

“Responding to the complaints that some of the injured traders during the attack by the government operatives have not been admitted or are not receiving adequate treatment at the hospital where they were taken, Sir Paul Chukwuma then assured that he was going to the hospital to ensure that they are treated and adequately taken care of.”

“Upon arrival at the hospital, Paul Chukwuma was asked to get an ambulance if he wanted to have the injured traders transferred to another hospital, and he complied. While the injured were taken into the waiting ambulance arranged by Paul Chukwuma, a branded sienna vehicle approached the gate and blocked the entrance gate.”

“A government official then disembarked from the vehicle and immediately proceeded to the hospital, ordering them to shut their doors.”

“Realizing that the occupant of the sienna is a serving official of the same government whose operatives killed their relatives and injured others, some of the relatives launched an attack on the government official. In fact, the government official first earned the wrath of the people when he ordered the hospital to close its doors.”

“This infuriated the relatives of the injured and deceased who were present. At this point, the official of the government was immediately asked to leave the place and to remove his vehicle, which he had used to block the gate.”

“The video now being shared by the same APGA government, which only a few days ago unleashed terror on innocent businessmen and women in their shops at the main market in Onitsha, suddenly dares to revive its dead conscience, days after its debased argument over virginity and DNA tests.”

“The government official in the video was saved from being manhandled through the intervention of YPP team members, who tried to stop the angry traders from hitting him. This can be seen clearly in the video they are sharing.”

“The APGA government in Anambra State must take note that they are at cross purposes with the people of Anambra State, and no amount of attempts to derail credible and healthy competition from the YPP, Sir Paul Chukwuma, and his Deputy, Uzu Okagbue, can stand.”

“What we are asking is simple: the governor of Anambra State, Professor Charles Soludo, must tell us what he has done with the billions of public funds he has overseen for and on behalf of the people and government of Anambra State in over three years.”

“The Governor may wish to grandstand and put up all manner of theatrical distractions to evade accountability, but he will surely not escape the rejection of Ndi Anambra on the ballot come November 8, 2025.”
