President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State on his re-election, describing the victory as a confirmation of the governor’s visionary leadership and commitment to good governance.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the President commended the All Grand Progressives Alliance (AGPA) for its performance in the Saturday governorship election, saying the party’s success reflected the vibrancy of Nigeria’s democracy.
President Tinubu noted that Soludo’s decisive win made him only the third governor in Anambra State’s history to secure a second term in office. He also lauded the people of Anambra, security agencies, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for ensuring a peaceful and credible election.
The President specifically praised INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, and his team for setting a benchmark in electoral conduct, urging the commission to sustain and improve the standards achieved.
“The re-election of Professor Soludo is a testament to his visionary leadership and the significant progress Anambra has made under his guidance,” the statement read.
Tinubu described the governor as a disciplined and innovative leader who has brought “grace, brilliance, and a fresh perspective” to governance in the state, adding that Anambra was living up to its motto as the “Light of the Nation.”
Reflecting on his visit to Anambra in May 2025, the President expressed admiration for the development projects executed under Soludo’s administration, noting the strategic thinking behind them.
He called on the governor to be magnanimous in victory, seek the cooperation of his political opponents, and assured him of the Federal Government’s continued support and collaboration in advancing the state’s development agenda.
