Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has been appointed as the Vice-Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum (SGF).
His appointment was during the SGF meeting that was held in Abeokuta on Monday, marking a significant resurgence of regional cooperation after a three-year hiatus.
The forum, crucial for championing the interests and aspirations of the Southern states, saw the unanimous decision to entrust the helm to Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, as Chairman and Governor Soludo as Vice-Chairman.
Sixteen out of seventeen governors attended the meeting, showing a united front and a collective commitment to reinvigorate the Southern bloc’s influence in national affairs.
Christian Aburime, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Soludo, said the governor’s rise to his new influential position makes a resounding affirmation of his colleagues’ trust in his capabilities.
“As Vice-Chairman of the Southern Governors Forum, there is no doubt that Governor Soludo will extend his influence and insights beyond Anambra.”
