The governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, has ruled out any significant opposition in the run-up to the November 8, 2025, governorship election in the state.
Soludo declared that he had not seen any worthy challenger.
He said there is a general agreement among Anambra people that his party, the All-Progressives Grand Alliance, has delivered good governance and deserves another term.
He stated this during a media chat marking his third year in office on Monday.
While Anambra voters may support other parties in national elections, Soludo pointed out that they will always support the APGA in local government and gubernatorial elections.
“If there is an election, I mean there will be an election, and if I am a candidate, I will be on the ballot, and then I ask: who else is running?
“Which party is fielding a candidate? So far, unless the person will come down from somewhere, I have not heard of any,” he said.
Soludo admitted that people have urged him to seek a second term, but the final decision rests with his party.
“The party has to agree to it and give me the platform. For me, I applied for this job intentionally because I felt that’s my way of thanking God for His bountiful blessing—to spend the rest of my life serving and leaving this place better than I met it.
“If my party nominates me and if my employers, who are the Anambra people, graciously renew the tenure, of course, it’s a great honour and a great privilege to serve,” he added.
Anambra is among eight states where governorship elections are held off-season due to court rulings.
