Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has boasted that he sees no competent opponent as he seeks re-election in the November 8, 2025 governorship poll.
Soludo stated that 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 made this statement during a media chat to celebrate his third anniversary, adding that the people of the South-East state can vote for any party during national elections but are loyal to APGA when it comes to governorship and local government chairmen seats.
“If there is an election, I mean there will be an election, and if I am the 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,” he said.
Soludo, a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) said he has gotten calls to run for a second term but his party would take the decision on who becomes the flag bearer.
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.
