    Governor Soludo

    Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, has boasted that he could not see any opposition against his reelection bid.

    He stated this on Monday during a media chat to celebrate his third anniversary anchored by Dr Reuben Abati who led three others. He stated that the people of Anambra State can vote for any party during national elections but they are loyal to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) when it comes to governorship and local government elections.

    The governorship election comes up on November 8, 2025.

    The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said there is a consensus among Ndi Anambra (the people of the state) that his party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has delivered dividends of democracy and should be given another chance in the next election.

    He said, “If there is an election, I mean there will be an election, and if I am candidate, I will be on the ballot, and then I ask: who else is running? Which party is fielding a candidate?

    “So far, unless the person will come down from somewhere but so far, I have not heard of any.”

    The former bank chief said he has gotten calls to run for a second term but his party would take the decision on who becomes the flag bearer.

    “The party has to agree to it and give me the platform. For me, I applied for this job intentionally because I felt that’s my way of thanking God for His bountiful blessing to spend the rest of my life to serve, and leave this place better than we met it.

    “If my party nominates me and if my employers who are the Anambra people to whom I had applied for this job interview me and graciously renew the tenure, of course, it’s a great honour, and a great privilege to serve,” he said.

    Anambra is one of the eight states where governorship elections are held off-season due to litigations and court judgments. Others are Bayelsa, Edo, Ekiti, Imo, Kogi, Osun and Ondo states.
