The African Action Congress candidate for the November 8 governorship election in Anambra State, Chioma Ifemeludike, has voiced concerns about the current administration’s handling of resident welfare. In a recent interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” she said that under Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s leadership the lives of residents “haven’t mattered.” Ifemeludike stressed the need for improvement across various sectors, especially security, noting that many deaths could have been prevented with effective governance. “When human lives are concerned, the government’s primary duty should be to protect its people,” she emphasized.
She also pointed out that, given the state’s allocations and internally generated revenue, the government should prioritize the well‑being of its citizens. The upcoming governorship election is expected to be closely watched, with the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Nigeria Police pledging to ensure a peaceful exercise. As the election approaches, candidates are outlining their visions for the state’s future, and Ifemeludike’s comments form part of her campaign to address the concerns of Anambra residents.
