The Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate in the recent Anambra State governorship election, Jude Ezenwafor, has expressed his willingness to collaborate with Governor Chukwuma Soludo to drive development in the state. In a recent interview on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ program, Ezenwafor highlighted his long-standing and cordial relationship with Soludo, stating that he is well-positioned to support the governor.

Ezenwafor revealed that he played a role in convincing Soludo to run for the governorship position while serving as Senior Special Assistant to former Governor Willie Obiano. He acknowledged Soludo’s performance, noting that “he came, he did well, and there is no perfect person.” This gesture of goodwill and acknowledgement of Soludo’s efforts reflects Ezenwafor’s commitment to putting the interests of the state above political affiliations.

Regarding the security challenges facing Anambra State, Ezenwafor commended Soludo and his team for their proactive approach. However, he emphasized the need for the governor to prioritize inclusivity and bolster security operations to effectively address the concerns of citizens. This advice underscores the importance of a comprehensive strategy to tackle the complex security issues in the state.

Ezenwafor also addressed allegations of vote-buying during the election, describing the claims as exaggerated. His response suggests that while electoral irregularities may have occurred, they may not be as widespread as reported. As the state moves forward, it is essential for stakeholders to engage in constructive dialogue and work towards strengthening the electoral process.

The pledge by Ezenwafor to work with Governor Soludo signals a positive step towards unity and cooperation in Anambra State’s political landscape. By putting aside partisan differences, both leaders can focus on addressing the pressing needs of the state, including security, development, and good governance. As the state embarks on this new chapter, the collaboration between Ezenwafor and Soludo could potentially yield significant benefits for the citizens of Anambra, ultimately contributing to the state’s growth and prosperity.
