Loquacious and resilient Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has boasted that the opposition parties have no competent challengers to face him as he seeks re-election in the November 8, 2025 governorship poll.
Prof Soludo, who was speaking during a media chat to celebrate his third anniversary, pointed out that the people of Anambra State can vote for any party during national elections but are loyal to APGA when it comes to governorship and local government chairmanship seats.
According to the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), there is a consensus among the people that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has delivered dividends of democracy and consequently deserves another chance to serve.
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.”
He made it clear that though he has received calls to run for a second term, it is his party that would take the decision on who becomes the flag bearer.
“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.
