Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has expressed confidence in securing a second term in the upcoming November 8, 2025, governorship election, stating that he sees no strong contender against him.
Speaking during a media chat marking his third year in office on Monday, Soludo said his party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has delivered good governance and earned the trust of Anambra voters.
He emphasized that while residents may support different parties in national elections, they have historically remained loyal to APGA in state and local government polls.
“If there is an election, I mean there will be an election, and if I am a candidate, I will be on the ballot. 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,” Soludo stated.
The governor acknowledged calls from various quarters urging him to seek re-election but noted that the final decision rests with APGA and the people of Anambra.
“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 blessings—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 past court rulings. With Soludo’s growing confidence, all eyes will be on the political landscape in the coming months as potential challengers emerge.
