Anambra Governor-Elect Should Be Ready To Tackle South-East Challenges – Buhari Reacts To Soludo’s Victory

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Prof. Charles Soludo, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate in Anambra State, on his victory in the state’s governorship election.

It will be noted that Andy Ubah, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the President’s party, was unable to acquire the required number of votes to win the hotly fought seat.

Soludo, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), won the election, which began on Saturday and ended on Tuesday in Anambra’s Ihiala local government area.

A statement signed by Femi Adesina on Wednesday read; “The President praises the security agencies for their determination to ensure that the election went on as smoothly as possible, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the successful conclusion of the exercise despite the initial challenges encountered.

“President Buhari enjoins Prof. Soludo, member of the Presidential Economic Advisory Committee, to rally other stakeholders to tackle the enormous challenges confronting the state and the Southeast in general.

“The President looks forward to working with the incoming governor for the peace, security and development of not only Anambra State, but the entire country.”
