A chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State, Chinedu Obigwe, has said that Governor Chukwuma Soludo has no intention of betraying his party in the forthcoming 2025 governorship election in the state.
The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), had been rumored in recent times to be scheming avenues to lure the incumbent governor to defect to its fold in readiness for the 2025 election.
Obigwe, in a statement obtained by Ikengaonline, said APC interest in the governor has shown that Soludo remains the best and a beautiful bride doing good works in the state.
The National Coordinator of the APGA Media forum, said APC interest is down to the fact that the party does not have anybody that can match Governor Soludo in the 2025 governorship election, and added that the governor will win the governorship poll convincingly without defecting to APC.
The statement read: “The above-referred news is a confirmation of what we have been saying that Governor Soludo remains the best and that he cannot be compared with anybody.
“For me, this is a welcome development because it has shown that Governor Soludo is a beautiful bride and that his good work in Anambra turned him into a good product that markets itself.
“Another angle to what the APC bigwigs are doing is that it is a pointer to the fact Anambra APC does not have anybody that can match Governor Soludo in the 2025 governorship election.
“They are not wooing Governor Soludo just because of the incumbency factor, they are wooing him because they know very well that he is among Nigeria’s best brains and that he can be described as the best performing Governor in today’s Nigeria.
“What I know for sure is that Governor Soludo will not betray APGA by defecting to APC and that he will win the 2025 governorship election convincingly without defecting to APC.
“The threat of APC to activate their plan B to take over Anambra State if Governor Soludo refuses to defect to their party is an empty threat.
“Governor Soludo as a tested and trusted nationalist will support the administration of President Tinubu to succeed for the betterment of Nigerians but as for betraying APGA by defecting to APC, he will not do that.
“It is now obvious that Ifeanyi Ubah and his cohorts are noise makers.
“The bigwigs in APC are seeing him as an empty vessel that makes the loudest noise.
“Governor Soludo remains a golden fish that has no hiding place.
“With him as Anambra Governor till 2030, our State will turn to Africa-Duba-Taiwan of Nigeria.”
