TINUBU CONGRATULATES SOLUDO ON RE-ELECTION, PRAISES LEADERSHIP
President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State on his re-election, describing the victory as a reflection of his visionary leadership and commitment to good governance.
The President also commended the All Grand Progressives Alliance (AGPA) for its performance in the election, noting that the party’s success underscored the vibrancy of Nigeria’s democracy.
In a statement on Sunday, Tinubu highlighted that Soludo’s overwhelming win in Saturday’s governorship election made him the third governor in Anambra’s history to secure a second term. He also lauded the people of Anambra, security agencies, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for ensuring a peaceful and successful poll.
The President praised INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan and his team for conducting a credible election and encouraged the commission to maintain and enhance these high standards.
“The re-election of Professor Soludo is a testament to his visionary leadership and the significant progress Anambra has achieved under his guidance,” Tinubu said.
He described Soludo as a disciplined and innovative leader who has brought “grace, brilliance, and a fresh perspective” to governance, noting that Anambra continues to embody its motto as the “Light of the Nation.”
Recalling his visit to the state in May 2025, the President expressed admiration for the projects executed by the Soludo administration and the strategic thinking behind them.
He urged Soludo to be magnanimous in victory, seek the cooperation of his opponents, and assured him of the Federal Government’s continued support and collaboration.
