He highlighted key achievements of Soludo administration, including the construction of the first flyover in Awka, building of Fun City which he described as one of the best in Africa, the Lighthouse comprising of 57 buildings, as well as enhanced security that has transformed Awka into a glorified headquarters.

According to him, Governor Soludo has a 50 year master plan for Anambra State, covering water transportation, railway systems and extensive road networks handled by indigenous contractors.

He noted that the ongoing campaign creates an opportunity to engage directly with the people, adding that Nov. 8, 2025 governorship election would be “sacrosanct” in securing Soludo re-election bid.
