Rt. Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji, KSJI, has officially declared his intention to contest the November 8th, 2025, Anambra State Governorship Election.
The declaration took place at his ward in Ezinifite, amid jubilation and overwhelming support from party faithful, community leaders, and grassroots mobilizers.
Umeoji, a seasoned policymaker, administrator, and strategist, is widely celebrated for his unwavering dedication to public service, transformative leadership, and commitment to the well-being of Ndị Anambra. He enters the race under the backdrop of four key principles: zoning, general acceptance, grassroots support, and experience.
Speaking at the declaration, Umeoji emphasized his resolve to rescue Anambra State from its current challenges and reposition it as a hub of economic growth, infrastructural development, and good governance.
“Anambra needs a leader who understands its heartbeat, connects with its people, and has the vision and capacity to transform it. I am that leader,” Umeoji stated passionately.
As a former lawmaker and grassroots politician, Umeoji has remained a symbol of consistency, accountability, and trust. His declaration reflects the popular demand from Anambra citizens and stakeholders for a leader who is both experienced and accessible—a leader who truly understands the needs of the people.
Three Reasons Why APC Should Give Umeoji the Governorship Ticket
Zoning for Equity and Fairness
Umeoji’s candidacy aligns with the principle of zoning, which promotes equity and fairness in Anambra politics. The Aguata-born leader comes from Anambra South Senatorial Zone, a region that many argue deserves to produce the next governor for balanced representation. By giving Umeoji the ticket, the All Progressives Congress (APC) demonstrates its commitment to justice and inclusivity, strengthening its appeal to voters across the state.
Grassroots Acceptance and Popularity
Rt. Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji is not just a politician; he is a movement. Known as the “live wire of grassroots politics” in Anambra, he enjoys widespread support across local communities, youth groups, and traditional institutions. His ability to mobilize and connect with the electorate makes him the ideal candidate to secure victory for APC in the gubernatorial race.
Track Record of Experience and Competence
Umeoji brings a wealth of experience to the table, having served in various leadership capacities with excellence. His tenure as a lawmaker demonstrated his ability to formulate policies and deliver impactful projects. With his deep understanding of governance and a clear vision for Anambra, Umeoji is well-positioned to provide competent leadership that addresses the state’s pressing needs.
