The National Leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and Governor of Anambra state, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR, has described the forthcoming August 16th Anambra South Senatorial Bye-Election as consequential in lieu of the November gubernatorial election.
Governor Soludo stated this when he led a campaign train in support of the APGA Candidate, Chief Emmanuel Nwachukwu, to Umunze in Orumba South and UfumaOrumba North.
Governor Soludo has expressed strong backing for Chief Emmanuel Nwachukwu, the APGA candidate in the upcoming Anambra South Bye-election scheduled for Saturday, August 16th. He stated that the party was well-positioned for victory and highlighted the importance of power rotation within the state. He called on party members to mobilize a significant turnout for the election.
During a rally in Ufuma to support Chief Nwachukwu, Governor Soludo also urged the nineteen wards in Orumba North to ensure that everyone is encouraged to head to the polling units for the APGA candidate. He conveyed his satisfaction with the unity in Orumba and asserted that APGA wants the votes to be counted fairly and without manipulation.
Accompanied by Deputy Governor, Dr. Onyekachukwu Ibezim, Governor Soludo emphasized that the party’s primary strategy is to mobilize the populace and express confidence that the collective will of the people shall prevail.
For Chief Nwachukwu, Governor Soludo has done well since he assumed office, promising to complement his good work at the federal level.
“Eight of us came out to campaign for this seat because of Governor Soludo’s good works,” he stated.
Mr. Emma Nwafor, representing Orumba South in the State House of Assembly, Princess Chinwe Nnabuife, Member for the Orumba North and South Federal Constituency, Chief Ben Nwankwo, Engr.

They collectively noted that the ongoing infrastructural developments throughout the state, driven by the current administration, demonstrate the capabilities of the APGA government to benefit the people of Anambra.
