The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Anambra State, Nicholas Ukachukwu, has attributed the rising cases of baby factories and illegal adoptions in the state to worsening insecurity and the alleged negligence of Governor Charles Soludo’s administration.
Speaking in an interview with TVC, Ukachukwu expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation in the state, which he said has crippled businesses and driven many citizens into desperate survival tactics.
“Honestly, let me tell you this I see things on national television. Nobody has more factories in Anambra State than myself and my family,” he said. “But in recent times, I can’t remember hearing of any new industries springing up in the state. Insecurity has killed many factories. In fact, my own factory is under lock and key because they kidnapped six of my expatriates. I used to have about seventy-something of them working for me.”
He added that the insecurity had forced him to shut down operations.
“The place is under lock and key. An aluminum company was supposed to bring production streams to us, but we haven’t been able to continue. We locked it down because we couldn’t operate,” he explained.
Ukachukwu decried the state government’s handling of security, accusing Governor Soludo of failing to create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
“The governor has not given the police, army, or DSS even ten vehicles in more than three years,” he alleged. “How do you expect them to fight crime when other states are equipping their forces? This situation breeds hopelessness. When people have no jobs, when businesses close down, when farmers can’t access their lands, crime will thrive from baby factories to land grabbing.”
In response, Governor Soludo, during a campaign rally, dismissed Ukachukwu’s remarks, mocking the APC candidate’s media appearances.
“Who advised him to go on TV last night? His enemies are many. They continue to encourage him to go to TV,” Soludo quipped.
