Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo has reaffirmed his commitment to the zoning arrangement that rotates the governorship among the state’s three senatorial districts. He said that, at the end of his tenure, he will hand over power to a governor from Anambra Central Senatorial District, following the established practice that began with Anambra North and then moved to Anambra South, his own district.
Soludo made the statement at an endorsement rally for his re‑election bid and for the return of former House of Representatives member Ifeanyi Ibezi to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abatete, Idemili North Local Government Area. He welcomed Ibezi back, describing APGA as the political identity of Anambra State, and noted that his campaign has gained momentum as communities independently organize endorsement rallies.
The governor emphasized that the zoning arrangement has become a cornerstone of the state’s politics, promoting balance and fairness among the senatorial districts. He expressed confidence in APGA’s prospects, citing the party’s unity and strength across the state’s 5,720 polling units and 326 political wards. In particular, Soludo urged voters in Idemili North—known for a large electorate but low turnout—to reverse this trend in the November 8 election and play a more active role in shaping the state’s future.
As the election approaches, Soludo’s commitment to the zoning arrangement and his focus on grassroots engagement are likely to be key factors in the campaign. His emphasis on APGA’s cohesion is significant given the party’s history and its position as a major political force in Anambra. With the vote looming, his message is expected to resonate with voters who value stability and continuity in the state’s governance.
