The National Coordinator of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Media Warriors Forum, Chinedu Obigwe, has expressed strong confidence that Governor Chukwuma Soludo will secure a sweeping victory in the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State.
Obigwe predicted that the incumbent would win in all 326 wards across the state, describing the anticipated outcome as a “326-over-326” landslide.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Obigwe dismissed recent reports that a pressure group had pledged to deliver two million votes to the Labour Party (LP) candidate, George Moghalu.
He described the report as “a senseless cock-and-bull story,” asserting that such groups wield no real influence over the Anambra electorate.
“As far as the November 8 governorship election is concerned, such mob groups cannot do more than a dead rat,” Obigwe said, adding, “Anambra people are wiser and will not be deceived into making a regrettable mistake.”
He recalled that in 2017, similar efforts by the opposition against then-Governor Willie Obiano failed, with APGA winning all 21 local government areas in the state.
A similar outcome, Obigwe noted, occurred in 2021 when Soludo clinched his first term victory under the APGA platform.
Obigwe argued that Governor Soludo’s achievements in office and his pedigree place him far ahead of his challengers.
“In all honesty, Governor Soludo has used his commendable performance in office to justify the confidence reposed in him by the Anambra electorate in 2021.
“Those contesting against Governor Soludo in the upcoming election are simply wasting their time. The people are not looking in their direction.”
He maintained that the outcome of the election is already predictable.
“What is loading for Governor Soludo is a 326-over-326 wards victory in Anambra State. It’s already a done deal because the people are satisfied with his performance,” Obigwe added.
Governor Soludo, a former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor and development economist, was elected in 2021 on the APGA platform and is seeking a second term in the forthcoming election.
