Anambra State governor, Prof. Charles Soludo is not in pretense about his desire to retain his office during the next year’s governorship election in the state.
Although Anambra State governor, Prof. Charles Soludo is not leaving any stone unturned ahead of next year governorship election, preparations by the opposition parties are already giving leaders of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance some sleepless nights, LAWRENCE NJOKU reports.
So far, Soludo has been commended for the infrastructure strides in the state. He may have, however, realised that the praises alone and what he has on ground may not win him a second tenure; hence the current campaigns to launch his administration further. It was gathered that the move to return Soludo to power in 2025 saw the throwing up of Onuko-led Soludo Ambassadors, an off-shoot of ‘Solution Team’ believably backed by the governor to water down leadership crisis that hit support groups earlier.
In the same political party are individuals laying claims to the leadership of the party, a development that has factionalised its members and remains one of its low points. Coming on board in 2022 on the plank of a contentious leadership provided by the immediate past administration of Victor Oye, many had expected Soludo to wade into the crisis with a view to resolving it. He never did.
“We have a judgment of the Supreme Court affirming that I am the National Chairman of the party. We got committal charges against them . What else? Are we the one now causing a crisis? APGA is a national party that 90 percent of its members want the right thing to be done”, he said. While the speculations hold on the issue, a one-time National Auditor of the APC, Paul Chukwuma has declared intention to the governorship seat of the party, saying his quest was borne out of conviction that his party holds the ace for the development of Anambra State.
It was apparently in the bid to check these “excesses” that the state government recently sanctioned a traditional ruler, Igwe Damian Ezeani of Neni community who conferred chieftaincy title on him, as well as reinforced an existing code of conduct on chieftaincy titles in the state. The LP won two of the three senatorial seats in the state; six of the eleven federal House of Reps seats and eight of the thirty state Assembly seats in the state in the 2023 general elections.
A member of the PDP Board of Trustees from the state, Ugochukwu Okeke, had told The Guardian that the stakeholders have resolved to put its house in order to ensure that the party bounces back for victory in the state governorship election next year.
