2025 Guber: Anambra North political stakeholders hold mega rally for Soludo

By Praise Chinecherem

People of Anambra North Senatorial Zone on Saturday trouped out enmass at the Otuocha Township Stadium, Aguleri for a rally in support of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo.

The event was organized under the auspices of Anambra North Stakeholders Forum; a coalition of current and former elected officials, appointees and key stakeholders of the ruling party from Anambra North.

Governor Soludo, expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support from the people of Anambra North.

“I am quite excited and surprised that the North Senatorial Zone began this movement officially, even when we have not even set up a campaign council because we are still focused on the work.

“I hear that the politicians are already moving around. When the time comes, we will also campaign as if we are the underdog to an unknown opponent, because we will never take the support of ndị Anambra in vain.

“Anambra state traditional rulers have now formalized the “Oluatuegwu” as a title- a name casually given to me by a woman on the street during one of my usual road inspections.

“I have a history with Anambra North Traditional Rulers. On 17th October, 2020, you invited me and endorsed me to become the Governor of Anambra State.

“Also, immediately I was sworn in, I started work in Anambra North. I deeply appreciate this, ndị Igwe Anambra North. 2025 again, we are beginning this journey in Anambra North.

“We have largely perfected the process of zoning in Anambra state, where each of the three zones produce successive governors.

“I’m telling ndị Anambra, you have not seen anything yet. We will set up a campaign council and at the appropriate time, we will start our campaign.

“For now, we will continue our programmes in Youth development, regenerative agriculture, health, education and others. Anambra is one state, one people, one party, Anambra is APGA land.”

Community leaders, youth representatives, and women’s organizations took turns chanting and addressing the crowd, reiterating their support for the governor.

Reading a communiqué on behalf of Stakeholders in the region, Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Somtochukwu Udeze, took center stage and passed a vote of confidence on the Governor because of what they described as landmark projects in Anambra North courtesy of Governor Soludo.

Among the notable attendees was the APGA National Chairman, Barr. Sly Ezeokenwa, who restated total support for Governor Soludo as well as the State Chairman, Barr. Ifeatu Obiokoye.

Others include Commissioner for Special Duties, Barr. Beverly Ikpeazu-Nkemdiche, Member representing Oyi and Ayamelum Federal Constituency, Lady Maureen Gwacham, Mr. Primus Odili and Engr. Marcel Ifejiofor, who emphasized the importance of engaging the people in governance.
