ABUJA — The All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate for Anambra State, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, was confronted and harassed on Monday, September 15, 2025, over allegations of a substantial debt. The incident, which reportedly took place at the Transcorp Hotel in Abuja, has raised concerns about his financial integrity ahead of the November 8, 2025, election.
A viral video circulating on social media shows the confrontation, where an individual can be heard accusing the candidate of owing money to his associates. Security personnel can be seen intervening to de-escalate the situation as the accuser repeatedly confronts Ukachukwu.
The individual, who claims to represent a group of associates, demanded to know who would be responsible for paying the alleged N1 billion debt if Ukachukwu were to be elected governor. The accuser voiced strong concerns that the people of Anambra State could ultimately bear the financial burden of the candidate’s personal debts.
The incident has sparked widespread debate on social media, with many commentators questioning the financial background of political aspirants and their suitability for public office. As the election draws closer, this development is likely to intensify scrutiny of all candidates.
The confrontation comes at a critical time for the Anambra gubernatorial race. The incumbent governor’s administration has faced criticism for failing to deliver on key promises, while the APC candidate’s campaign is now grappling with serious questions about his financial standing.
The alleged debt and the public confrontation highlight the growing demand for transparency from political leaders. As voters prepare to head to the polls, the focus is shifting from campaign promises to the personal and financial integrity of the candidates vying for the state’s highest office.
