President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has thrown his weight behind Governor Charles Soludo’s re-election bid, signaling a major endorsement during his working visit to Anambra State on Thursday.
Speaking at the Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka after unveiling a series of completed projects by the Soludo administration, Tinubu heaped praises on the governor’s leadership, describing him as “a friend and ally.”
“I appreciate and commend Governor Soludo for laying a very solid foundation for a focused, steady growth of Anambra State,” the President stated, acknowledging the visible developmental strides across the state.
In what appeared to be a subtle dismissal of the political strength of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra, Tinubu’s glowing remarks were interpreted by observers as a nod to Soludo’s performance over party allegiance.
Soludo, a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has been seen by many as a technocratic leader focused more on results than partisan politics.
The President noted that Soludo had been one of his trusted advisers from the early days of his administration, saying, “He was among my advisers right from the starting block of my administration.”
