Oh, how the mighty have fallen in the blink of an eye! Nicholas Ukachukwu, the Anambra’s favorite political specter, like a Nollywood villain who refuses to stay dead, keeps reappearing on the ballot, only to be constantly humiliated. He is at it again, spinning his tired old tale about being the “highest employer of labor” in the state. Someone get this man a fact-checker, a mirror, and maybe even a straitjacket.
Let’s dismantle this serial election loser, shall we?
Ukachukwu’s greatest talent isn’t employment; it is generating embarrassment. During an appearance on Arise TV’s Morning Show, he falsely claimed he “used to be the highest employer of labor in Anambra.” Ndi Anambra is asking, “Where? How? When?” The only thing Ukachukwu has consistently employed is “bad air —ikuku ojoo!” Meanwhile, Soludo’s administration has created real jobs and empowered Ndi Anambra—thousands of them over the past three years. Through the “One Youth, Two Skills” program, 5,000 youths were trained and empowered with ₦2 billion in seed capital, with a second batch of -8,300 youth currently in training. The Solution Innovation District has impacted 30,000 Ndi Anambra through digital skills training, while 8,115 qualified teachers and 1,000 health personnel have been employed. There have also been jobs created in Anambra’s security architecture, the Anambra state task force, government drivers, and various indirect jobs through the ongoing infrastructure revolution. But sure, Nicky Boy, keep waving those imaginary paychecks in your empty head.
Regarding Ukachukwu’s so-called “ghost workforce” claims: If he had employed even one person in any of the non-existent factories he claims to have operated in Anambra, the Southeast’s unemployment rate would have dropped to zero every time he spoke. Instead, we have receipts—and they all read “Bounced” in bright red ink. Ndi Anambra is collectively asking this serial loser, Ukachukwu, for the locations of the now “failed factories” that were allegedly the highest employers of labor, as well as the reasons they folded.
When you can’t win elections or influence supporters, I guess you just lie louder? Pathetic. Even his so-called “business empire” crumbles under scrutiny, more of a Potemkin village.
We guess facts have interrupted Ukachukwu’s tragicomic monologue.
