Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, reaffirmed his commitment to upholding the state’s zoning formula, stating that power will shift to the central senatorial zone after his second term. He made the declaration at a political rally organized by the people of Anaocha Local Government Area on Saturday. Governor Soludo, who hails from the southern senatorial zone, emphasized his dedication to ensuring inclusivity and fairness in political representation. He succeeded Chief Willie Obiano, who is from the northern senatorial zone, and his statement aims to reassure Anambra residents that the existing zoning arrangement will be respected and maintained.
The governor’s remarks were delivered in the presence of community leaders and residents of Anaocha who gathered to endorse him as their preferred choice. The Presidents‑General of the ten communities that comprise the local government area praised Soludo for his achievements in the state, citing improvements in infrastructural development, road enhancements, and community engagement. Chief Kenneth Echendu, speaking on behalf of the Presidents‑General, said Governor Soludo’s leadership has brought positive changes to the communities, adding, “His engagement with community leaders has fostered collaboration and good governance at the grassroots level.”
The Anaocha community’s endorsement is a significant development in the state’s political landscape. Soludo’s commitment to the zoning formula is seen as a strategic move to maintain balance and stability in Anambra politics. The formula, which rotates power among the three senatorial zones, promotes fairness and representation. By upholding this arrangement, Soludo demonstrates his dedication to the principles of inclusivity and fairness.
As the political landscape in Anambra State continues to evolve, Soludo’s statement has important implications for the future of governance. The next steps will likely involve intense political maneuvering, as different zones and interest groups position themselves for the upcoming power shift. With the central senatorial zone poised to take the reins after Soludo’s second term, the stage is set for a new era in Anambra State’s politics.
