Okeosisi Aguleri, Chief Primus Odili, has aligned with Former Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State and current Minister of Works to endorse the Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo for reelection.
Umahi had commended Governor Soludo on his development strides in Anambra.
Umahi, who was in Anambra State on a working visit, described Soludo’s achievement in the state as humbling.
He said Soludo has no valid opposition in the November 2025 governorship election and that if he were from the state he would rather support the Governor to continue for the next four years.
Agreeing with Umahi, Odili observed that Prof Soludo has done commendable works in just three years of office.
He maintains that his works are good enough to compel Ndi Anambra to overwhelmingly recharge his gubernatorial mandate come November 8, 2025.
Odili said,”The unreserved endorsement coming from Umahi, whose transformational government in Ebonyi State today stands tall before friends and foes alike, could have no stronger weight.
“He believes that whatever is left to be done has a greater chance of being accomplished if Soludo is encouraged to continue after the November governorship election in the state.
“Except development has other meanings which are yet to be public knowledge, what Soludo has done, which wowed the Minister of Works, ex-Governor Dave Umahi, who was not found wanting in his time in Ebonyi, is unparalleled. Governor Soludo has accomplished a lot of premium projects without borrowing.”
“It may be difficult for the opposition to admit to the reality of this fact – especially the performing streak of the APGA government in the state. But the record is there, and it will be difficult to upstage the party.”
“I can assure you that the All Progressives Grand Alliance is not in a hurry to relinquish power to the opposition in the state. Instead, the party is doubling down on its hold on the people through evident performance that no braggadocio can alter.”
“Ndi Anambra know that the APGA government led by Prof Soludo is working hard to bequeath them a safe, viable, and healthy state. I can safely say that Umahi’s advice to the opposition is worthwhile and should be considered in the interest of the people.”
Odili added, “Recall that it was since the launch of the Agunechemba security outfit, when criminals in that state were given a run for their money, that development in the state had a chance to be indexed.”
“With the de-escalation of abduction, murder, robbery, etc., the Soludo government now enjoys wider acceptance from the people.”
“Ndi Anambra are increasingly appreciative of the effort of the government in transforming Anambra into a livable smart megacity state.
“What Umahi said may sound Greek in the ears of the opposition, but it is the reality. A drive around the state will convince any doubter that the Solution is truly here in Anambra, and the people have embraced it in its entirety.”
