President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Governor Chukwuma Soludo on his re-election in Anambra State, describing the outcome as a testament to the governor’s visionary leadership. Soludo’s victory marks a significant milestone, as he becomes the third governor in the state’s history to secure a second term.
The presidential commendation follows the peaceful and successful conduct of the governorship election, which saw the All Grand Progressives Alliance (AGPA) emerge victorious. President Tinubu praised the people of Anambra State, security agencies, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for their roles in ensuring a smooth electoral process.
In a statement, President Tinubu commended the new INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, and his team for conducting a credible election. He urged the commission to build on the standards achieved, emphasizing the importance of sustaining the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic processes.
The president’s statement highlighted Governor Soludo’s disciplined and innovative approach to governance, which has brought significant progress to Anambra State. Recalling his visit to the state in May 2025, President Tinubu expressed admiration for the projects executed by the Soludo administration, citing the “good thinking” behind them.
President Tinubu encouraged Governor Soludo to be magnanimous in victory and seek cooperation from his opponents, assuring him of the Federal Government’s continued support and collaboration. The president’s congratulations underscore the significance of Soludo’s re-election, which reflects the vibrancy of Nigeria’s democracy.
As Governor Soludo begins his second term, he is expected to continue implementing his vision for Anambra State, building on the progress made during his first term. The state’s motto, “Light of the Nation,” is seen as a reflection of its potential for growth and development, with Soludo’s leadership poised to play a key role in realizing this vision. With the Federal Government’s support, Anambra State is likely to remain a focal point for democratic governance and economic development in Nigeria.
