Anambra 2025: I don’t see any opponent against my re-election – Soludo

Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has dismissed any serious competition as he seeks re-election in the November 8, 2025 governorship poll.

Soludo declared that he had not seen any worthy challengers.

According to him, 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 stated during a media chat to celebrate his third anniversary, stressing 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.

The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, acknowledged that people have urged him to seek a second term, but the final decision rests with his party.

“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 serving and leaving this place better than I met it.

“If my party nominates me and if my employers, who are the Anambra people, graciously renew the tenure, of course, it’s a great honour and a great privilege to serve,” he added.

Anambra is among eight states where governorship elections are held off-season due to court rulings. Others are Bayelsa, Edo, Ekiti, Imo, Kogi, Osun and Ondo.
