President Tinubu Hails Soludo’s Re-Election as Proof of Visionary Leadership

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Professor Chukwuma Soludo on his re-election as Governor of Anambra State, describing the outcome of the election as a resounding affirmation of his visionary leadership and the remarkable progress recorded under his administration.

In a statement issued on sunday by the Presidential Spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu lauded the people of Anambra State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and security agencies for ensuring the peaceful and credible conduct of the governorship election held on Saturday.

President Tinubu added that the victory of the opposition All Grand Progressives Alliance (AGPA) in the election underscored the strength of Nigeria’s democracy, where “victory for any progressive and hardworking leader can hardly be encumbered or denied.”

The President noted that Soludo’s victory, which secured him a second term in office, placed him among the few leaders in Anambra’s political history to achieve such a feat.

“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 stated.

Highlighting his visit to the state in May 2025, during which he inaugurated several projects executed by the Soludo administration, President Tinubu commended the governor’s innovative approach to governance.

“I visited Anambra State in May this year, where I inaugurated some projects executed by the Soludo administration. I highlighted the good thinking behind the landmark projects being embarked upon by Mr Solution. That experience is indeed remarkable and will remain indelible in my mind.”

President Tinubu further praised Governor Soludo for injecting “discipline, grace, brilliance, and a fresh perspective to governance,” noting that Anambra is truly living up to its motto as the ‘Light of the Nation’.

He urged the governor to be magnanimous in victory and to extend a hand of fellowship to his opponents, emphasising the need for unity and cooperation in the continued development of the state.

While assuring Governor Soludo of the Federal Government’s support, President Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening collaboration between the Federal government and Anambra’s State government

The President also commended the new INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, for conducting what observers have described as a credible election.

“”I must also thank the new INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, and his team for conducting what observers have described as a credible election, based on the reports I have received thus far” the President said.

He urged the electoral body to sustain and improve on the standards to further deepen Nigeria’s democratic process.
