By Praise Chinecherem

The Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra state has officially endorsed Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration for a second term of four years.

The communities also endorsed the Governor’s candidacy with a commitment of ₦150 million to bolster his campaign efforts ahead of the upcoming elections.

The endorsement was announced during a vibrant rally held at Amansea, which attracted a large crowd of supporters.

Addressing the crowd, Soludo expressed gratitude for the endorsement.

“This endorsement reflects the trust and confidence the people of Awka North have in our administration. Together, we will build a prosperous future for Ndị Anambra.

“There are three local government areas that have kept my vision of becoming Governor alive: Awka North, Anambra West, and Ogbaru.

“Previously, residents of Awka North had to pass through other local government areas to reach home. However, with the completion of the 10.9-kilometer road to Achala, that is no longer the case.

“As a result of these improvements, land prices in the area have risen significantly, and the average person in Awka North is now wealthier,” he said.

Describing Amansea as the gateway city into Anambra, the Governor advised people of the area to prioritize avoiding cultism and other social vices to maintain a safe community.

“We are committed to further developments in the state and in this area—just be patient and watch what comes next. Awka North is truly blessed by God. We must work together to fulfil its destiny,” he added.

Responding, Chairman of Awka North, Mr. Thankgod Anagor, stated revealed that the Governor had completed an impressive 55.5 kilometers of roads in Awka North.

“For this and more, we are forever indebted to him. We’re united in supporting his administration to keep succeeding.

“We aim to reinforce the initiatives that have already begun transforming Anambra into a model of development,” he stated.

Member representing Awka North Local Government Constituency at the House of Assembly, Johnmark Ikwunne highlighted several important infrastructure projects related to youth development, education, and health.

President General of Urum, Sir Felix Ifebumma, spoke on behalf of the ten communities in the area, conveying their strong solidarity with the Governor.

They expressed the area’s unwavering support for Governor Soludo. “Today, we stand united in our commitment to support a leader who has demonstrated a remarkable dedication to the progress of our state.

Among dignitaries at the rally were Deputy Governor, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, alongside key stakeholders, community leaders, and representatives from various support groups.
