Soludo wins APGA governorship ticket in Anambra

The Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo, on Saturday, secured the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) ticket to contest the November 8, 2025, governorship election in the state.

Soludo, a former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, was returned unopposed during the party’s primary election held in Awka, the state capital.

He polled over 300 votes in a process widely described as peaceful, transparent, and reflective of internal party unity.

The atmosphere at the event was marked by jubilation as party faithful, traditional rulers, youth groups, and market leaders gathered to witness the endorsement of the incumbent, whose administration has focused on infrastructural renewal, education reform, and digital governance.

“This overwhelming endorsement is not just a validation of our past efforts but a renewed call to duty.

“We are building a new Anambra that generations will be proud of, and this journey continues with your support,” the governor stated.
