President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) on his re-election as Governor of Anambra State, describing the victory as a historic affirmation of visionary leadership and public trust.
In a statement issued on Sunday, President Tinubu noted that Soludo’s overwhelming triumph in the November 8 governorship election made him only the third governor in Anambra’s political history to secure a second term in office. The President also extended congratulations to the people of Anambra State, security agencies, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for ensuring the peaceful and credible conduct of the election.
“The overwhelming victory he recorded in Saturday's poll has now made him the third governor in the state's political history to win a second term,” Tinubu stated. “Professor Soludo's re-election is a testament to his visionary leadership and the significant progress the state has made under his guidance.”
The President praised Governor Soludo for his intellect, discipline, and innovative approach to governance, saying the administration’s achievements had brought renewed hope and development to the state. “Governor Soludo, the Solution, has demonstrated that indeed knowledge is power and that academic principles can be applied in serving the people, undergirding accountability, transparency, and prudent management of people and resources,” he said.
President Tinubu recalled his visit to Anambra in May 2025, where he commissioned several projects initiated by the Soludo administration. He described the experience as “remarkable and indelible,” commending the governor for bringing “discipline, grace, brilliance, and a fresh perspective to governance in Anambra.”
He further urged Soludo to be magnanimous in victory and to work with his opponents for the continued progress of the state, assuring him of full federal support. “I assure Governor Soludo of my unwavering support, and I look forward to continued collaboration between Anambra and the Federal Government,” Tinubu said.
The President also praised the Independent National Electoral Commission for what he described as a credible and transparent election process. “The victory of the opposition All Grand Progressives Alliance in the election again demonstrates the vitality of our political system and the fact that victory for any progressive and hardworking leader can hardly be encumbered or denied,” he added.
Tinubu commended INEC Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan and his team for maintaining professionalism and transparency, urging the commission to continue improving Nigeria’s electoral system to strengthen democracy across the nation.
